(2014)
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
