Won’t.
You
want
to fight
and I will not bite
and you argue all tonight -
know now I just will not bite
life is more than fight
flight from torpid shite
and understand
I will not bite
and therefore,
will not
write.
July 23, 2007 - Poem about Words
We need a list.
All these
things to do
these things to count
these things to throw away
to say, to shout, to laugh,
to argue all about
can’t we just write
these dumb things down?
all the breaths
we’re letting go
without regard
for things
we need to do
we can stop this
in its tracks
stop this waste
the time that spins
the moments
sparing dullness
all these worries
all these sighs
we should just agree -
write this stuff down
park tired things
but keep them safe.
We need
a list.
