Aubrey E Drummond

I am too tired to write
So, I will write

Nothing
...

Why do you keep working there
For such a low rate of pay
Don't you know you could go
Anywhere and get paid better too?
...

My grandmother was all dressed up nice
In her Sunday going to church clothes
'The man is coming, the man is coming'
she said and made me take a bath,
...

In my ears
I can hear the sound
Of my heartbeat
Constant, Sad, and lonely
...

The switch
Long brown rubbery stick
That burn in me many a lesson
...

I talk
Face to face
With the man
...

Grey days
Leads
Greyer nights
And
...

Word processer
Wordless and
Black
...

Did I say those words to you?
Words I found so hard to say
Although it glowed within my heart
My devoted worship of you
...

I live In a world of lies
where free speech
has lost its right to exist
...

Who's to say
what I write
is bad?
...

Pressing your body close to mine
I wrap my arms around you

wondering…
...

Less hope now
if blue turns to red
Will have to find
another flag
...

When you died…
I died too
...

No tears
Have I
For you
...

I feel the pressure of your thigh
Resting against mine

Tell me
...

You can
I can
But
We don't
...

Live fat
trapped within your cage
Growing old and blind
with grand care
...

You may ask this question
which I have no answer to
at least at this time not now
...

I don't write to please you
No audience do I clamor for
(That's a lie)
No group do I wish to please
...
