Dear, Raymond
when we were younger
I hit you over the head
with a milk jug.
...
I will not believe
Not until equally all are seen
And from no child's eye a tear gleams
No, I will not believe
...
I fell in love under the autumn skies
As I watched her dance in the midnight light
I watched my world change with open eyes
I fell in love under autumn skies
...
I do not think I will ever age
At least in my mind, it seems that way
I do not believe I have ever aged
Unless I have and my memory of it faded away.
...
The pedophial pedeatrion
Browses his waiting room
While the vegan butcher
Is in a tiresome mood.
...
I wish I were drowning
In a calm blue serenity
Or at least sinking
Into something like that
...
I ever the narcissist
I ever the proclaimer
I ever the knowledgable
I ever the more full of myself
...
I only know what I have read
About undescribable moments
Of joy and inner comfort.
...
All dog no water baby.)
When We Were Younger
Dear, Raymond
when we were younger
I hit you over the head
with a milk jug.
I'm sorry about that.
But these things happen,
there is no helping it.
Yet still, I think about it.
How the milk leaped
out of the broken glass
then dove down
to the plank vinyl.
The way you fell after it.
So limp, I didn't know
how limp you'd become.
And I think about it constantly
Your burgundy blood
swirling in the pure white.
I can't help but think of it.
What a waste of milk.
Without man, there is no Devil.
I was someone once, and Jesus wept for me.
