Thomas Lawrence Poems
Langston Hughes
is my favorite poet
though I can't relate
much
...
what makes you think
my soul needs a mate?
my soul needs a break
not soup or a date
...
i looked for you
in that hopeful dreading way
i looked for you
as i prayed you'd stay away
...
I am deeply sad
not it that self-absorbed, self-indulgent
sylvia plath kind of way
but having that alone with everybody,
...
Today god feels like an exclusive country club
with stiff entrance fees,
secret requirements
and mysterious restrictions
...
If i could cool the nerve cells
of my spinal cord
and no longer feel my body
...
there is this certain house
call it the beach house
a once well-worn respite,
it's quaint disrepair
...
Much like my non-friend Tom
is content being a drunk
I am content
writing bad poetry
...
[CMD] [Option] < ESC>
is the best feature
Apple ever came up with

Thomas Lawrence Biography
I used to write often as a young teen. I'd bicycle down to the great south bay, work my way down between the bulkhead and the cattails, and enter my secret spot by the water. Sometimes I would write until it got too dark to see. I never saved anything very long, nor ever, ever showed it to anyone. Not so much because i was shy, which i was, or because i didn't think it was any good, which i didn't, but because it would have changed it, like a secret being whispered from ear to ear. And because once a poem or a story is read by others it belongs to them as well, and these were mine. I paid a price for my secrets. I often still do. So, this is my attempt to change all that. Late but hopefully not too late. And I put them out in a big way, on the internet for anyone to see; hiding in plain sight. I'll not tell anyone they are there of course, they'll have to find me by accident.)

Langston Hughes Is My Favorite Poet
Langston Hughes
is my favorite poet
though I can't relate
much
to the black experience,
talk gangsta,
or feel the need to,
shave my white head
and I'll admit,
I much prefer reading
chinaski
or neruda
but Langston Hughes
man, I love that name
Langston Hughes
you know, he can write
