Him Go

i watched the doctor say

he couldn't cure me

and i wish he hadn't walked sadly away

because it added on to my pain

Fire and Iced Drinks

the cool of the room

he had a view from his bed

sitting there with the fruity drink in hand

watching the beach soak up sunset

but he didn't want to go out

worked for 43 years until lottery

it was enough just to sit there

Pumping Action

they told the cancer making love

was a good cure for his ailment

but it was just to give him pleasure

at the end

looking all around, there was only sex

and he found, he didn't have the qualifications

for Making love

Grandmother's President

before sleep every night

she told the little girl

she could be anything

and she slept on soft lies

Shell

i've lived my life in a room

the fear of people

the intolerance of self-failure

the laughter in serious moments

i grew into best friends 1 at a time

certain things, like sticking a hand in a water moccasin

jumping freely from stories, fool to be necessary

i used the space, that is, they never walked through me

mutual respect for collision

I Don't Know

i don't know how to act

i don't know how to walk

i don't know what's funny and what's foolish

i think they're watching me all the time

when i'm so unimportant
