(2014)
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste

Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man

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
