I am one thing
one continuous fiber one
continuous feeling that runs
sometimes flows sometimes tumbles
but nonetheless always returns
and always remains and
never ever goes away
I am one thing
just one little thread
that meanders around down
and through up and
around twisting and turning
and then back and
ending where it began
I am one thing
I’ve only ever been
but this one thing
though others have wanted
just that thing or
the other thing for
moments or for hours
or for years but
I am one thing
it’s all I’ve been
just that one thing

WooWooWoooolf
Sometimes I do feel
like life dresses up
as the big bad
wolf from nursery rhymes
dropping little crumbs of
hope leading me down
one path and onto
another to snatch me
I could I have
yelled help as I’m
being eaten alive but
it was I and
never ever the wolf
who decided to gobble
down every delicious morsel
for if the wolf
was really that hungry
and just like life
not really needing me
it’d eaten its own
breadcrumbs leaving me alone
oh that wily wolf
