If I knew
then I would
since I don’t
then I can’t
If I felt
then I’d know
since I don’t
I will pretend
until I know
then I’ll do
just that thing
that you want
to show you
that I can
and I do
this little thing
that I know

Friend
What’s a friend really
really no really what
is one one that
sets a stranger or
acquaintance or lover apart
familiarity or maybe similarity
knowledge forgiveness maybe empathy
people say it’s affection
aren’t we affectionate to
lovers and our families
interest or maybe laughter
I’m asking you see
because it seems to
me that once a
friend always a friend
but that’s not true
so I ask again
just what just what
makes this thing friendly
ThrowingStones
I’m not exactly sure
why in this day
and age it’s anyone’s
business who I choose
to love or what
attracts me to them
but here we are
I’m too long in
the tooth to care
but the others do
still do still have
people are odd things
being so certainly certain
that they know better
when in fact their
life and or love
is no more successful
or valid or beautiful
than mine I think
that I’m going to
stay in my apartment
overlooking the Rocky Mountains
and ponder life itself
high above riff raff
animals and people who
upon knowing more about
me hurl heavy stones
hoping to make me
suffer worse than they
WordsMusic
I listen to classical
music when I write
because to me both
genres exist in harmony
just like eyes and
lips for music like
eyes invite us closer
lips breathe out breath
just like words do
Dullsville
Yesterday was bad
today is worse
I need angst
I need heart
pain whether it’s
ache or break
I need something
anything that will
break the spell
of living here
in quiet Dullsville
