there is no hell on my back
none too on my front
down and up there are heavens
i face you now
...
sunny side up
that is how you wanted life to be
the sun facing the sky
from the ground below
...
i am a vampire who cannot read your mind
if speak you must
why not speak the cleanliness of an important street in the city?
the orderliness of a traffic jam
...
when man must complete his journey
he takes not just the crown
but all those thorns
if rest he must
...
so many words
in general terms
not one shall touch
the heart
...
when you go up
to the apex of your success
you are like
a child born with many fathers
...
how can i forget the china man who lives below our house selling us noddles for breakfast
proclaiming Long Life, Good Business,
Posterity of the Family
...
when your loved ones change
and say they need space
and have to to take their breaths somewhere
and leave you
...
IT is not only in place out of reach
like an island far away from the city
or a pathless mountain
where we hide
...
what you see is always the mess
and your mind rebels
for all those things not in their proper places
plates on the road
...
