Quite honestly
my poetry
is so easy
I cannot see
beyond the line that makes it be.
For surely not I
made this song spry
nor made that sense
or paid some expense.
Why would i make my hell so intense?
Everything here
is written clear
from a mind that knows a worse fear.
And though I try
to find the high
that once sent me care,
I know I seek
what does speak
from a time that I don't share.
Please don't expect to make some meaning
to the points that keep careening
for no position has been set,
and no definition has been met.
And I'll bet my ideas will never settle,
cause I know my push will always pedal.

Recently vacated.
Period piece.
Impressive bay window.
MY SOUL LONGS TO BE FREE
There are times my soul longs to be free
From this human body, know as me
It wants to go to a place
