Frances Jackson Johnson Poems

Who are you
by now the whole world...thinks it knows
but...I looked beyond your public stature and
Miss Angelou...I think...I Gotcha
...

I!...I!...I! You...You...You
Maybe I should juxtapose these two
I! I! I!..you...God
Am I living backwards?
...

Nature...Universal Friend
Dying out...to begin again
Pure and natural...safe and sure
Man...the only curse
...

before you fall into
the trap of ignorance get knowledge
before you step into a hole of stupidity
watch your step
...

you somewhere...in between
which elevator button will you push
where are going...I mean
I ask the question...
...
