John Palermo Poems

I'm not in love I don't have to be to know what it is

I have felt it before
...

I'm at a cornerstone in life

I have reached a crossroad in a naked ghost town of a city and am standing on the street corner of a four way stop in life as curious as a stranger in a new town

If it is real then let it be surreal
If it is divine let me intertwine and make it hers and mine
