The power abuse:
“People should be in order.”
Oh, yeah – have you been their best example(s)?
It’s your stupid, double standard
that makes it really, really hard
I've been transported back in time
something familiar
yet also bizarre
the same old Twilight Zone
with the same old Culture of Silence
I don’t remember
the last time I cried in someone’s arms.
Perhaps I’m just trying to forget
in order to remain strong.
There are times you must be on your own.
Rummaging through ink drawings
that you catch with your umbrella
on rainy days
This is how
you write poetry
without
I’m not arrogant
I’ve been adjusted to being alone
solving problems on my own
afraid to be (too) dependent
the moment I start asking
for your assistance
a blank canvas is a poem,
yet to be composed
A heart beginning -
to open
with eyes
You draw love
out of a blue box
and place it's roots in the ground
you cover the base of it
with small rocks
and soft flowers you have found
Perhaps you’re one of the little kids
dreaming of becoming superheroes
saving the world
wherever they go
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
I’d like to be
right in-between
asleep and awake
Is it too hard to take?
It’s the only place
Another episode
an inner push to an automatic mode
a buzzing chainsaw in my ears
My vision wasn’t crystal-clear
It was the same old alien
You may associate white
with beauty or purity
All I see is what looks empty
like a page or a canvass
for a writer or a painter
This ain’t no desperation
I’m just contemplating
weighing my options
seriously considering
Yes, we don’t get to choose
