KnowYouThenThem (to Gil)

What is not important 
is to have friends
for friends unlike you
causes dissonance and distraction
and dissonance causes discomfort
oh it is okay
to sometimes swim
with the ducks but
when you are a
swan only other swans
can show you how
go find your gaggle
your herd your flock
even though your intention
of leading by example
is too often admirable
more often than not
those who are anchors
will never ever float

Oh the world thinks

That our own heartache

Is what cripples us

No it’s not that

What diminishes our ability

Is the insistent chipping

Piece by precious piece

Of our own hearts

When those other hearts

Stop beating simply because

They dared to love

Those that they loved

What is to become

Of us when we’re

No longer allowed to

Dance will we drift

Like jellyfish on ocean

Currents avoiding each other

For fear of stings

Nodding as we pass

One barely apparent one

To the other our

Desire nothing more than

Spiny secrets that drag

Behind leaving a wisp

Of what once was

DisSins

And yes once again

I had my nightmares

Of greed and power

But they weren’t mine

I simply facilitated them

By my own dis-sins

Of disinterest and disloyalty

Dishonesty and disturbance

Disprove disarm and disgrace

Distant dislike and disappoint

Aren’t we all culprits

In crimes we allow

By disavowing the disemboweling

Of our own countrymen

Stand up stand together

And always stand strong

Against those who oppress

SuperPower

Oh now come on

Who doesn’t want a

Super power to be

Able to do things

Others cannot the only

Difference between a super

Power and an abomination

Is a person’s desire

To have be do

Even if you’re born

That very special way
