Regentrificación

And yet you

Know that it’s

About our third

And that maybe

What hasn’t happened

Has before before

And that there

In that silence

Something new born

Idea: equal/good

And that began

All this called

Quiet re gentrification

Knock yourselves out!

Blackboard

The sky resembles

The chalk laden

Blackboard of my

Youth that had

Yet to be

Wiped with a

Wet shammy damp

Deerskin that wipes

The mistakes of

Yesterday and cleans

The board to

Pristine kind of

Like New Years

When last year

Is wiped away

Ready for 2021

Celebrate this world

Next year will

Be better I

Promise every one.

Dreaming

And with one

Hand I pulled

Myself from sleep

For with the

Other I was

Holding you there

Unsure which was

The nightmare here

Awake and alone

Or there asleep

Knowing that you

Were the one

Dreaming of me

Birds

Remember those birds

That are caged

See those that

Fly as odd

Just be you

And don’t worry

About the others

Let them be

As they you

ChooseChase (for Eric)

Not knowing what

You want is

Different than getting

What you don’t

One is active

The other passive

Either chase or

Choose choosing is

Horrible and lends

Itself to heartache

Chasing is active

Exhausting and difficult

Showing you what

You and your

Life is worth

Simply to another

Capture or lose

You flattered someone
