I can see what you don't want
others to know. I can tell that
you cowardice is deep
as
drifted snow.
You're
low
and about to screech your train
Declare yourself insane
retract you statement
withdraw from the game. Feelin' lame,
limpin on that broken crutch that's
not **** sturdy as is once was
because it'z been used too much like a phone cord
after years of double-dutch?
Running out of places to haven in,shield you from the wind,
all four of which you created when you chose to
walk out that door
and leave me, at age four
to weather the world, whether it
hurled stones, burned, twirled........
....Right now, I'm lookin' at my niece,
sleeping, curled up under me.
Even though my foot's asleep
I don't wanna move
'CAUSE I'M NOT YOU.
