Safety valve
Hosein calls me 'Friend'
-he talks and I listen
-whenever he starts
-he loses his brakes
Feels expert
Feels a vase
Full to rim…
No more room for intake
He must pour and preach
In cascades or drips
Doubtlessly in each mass,
-even in the trash
-possibly can be found
-something that is worthwhile…
Ali wrote a poem
-'Hope' is named
He intends to do well
-written in a loose way:
-'Hey people, pinned on wall
-…you who work twice hard
-…we need to be seen to…
-show the things don't go well
-and crows are no good…'
-at the end he offers:
-'…when untied…if ever…
-…become hope's messenger…'
I do not write poem
-I breathe hard for air
-want the pain off my chest
-am tired and tired and tired
The blood in my veins
-is flow of water
-daily life is the heat
-of engine, of stove with fire
-then steam compiles, pressure
-need a valve…safety…so I sigh…
Ohio and fear, opioid overdose
Natuashish: 'Stop the bootlegging'
In Iran and elsewhere, the porters, smuggle
Killed and raped, refugees in masses
'USA shooting the Syrian airplanes'
Australia stopping bombing of the Rigga
Russia may take revenge… (What a mess!)
Feed sad for the normal residents…
The bullies harass them and kills them
I feel like an engine of steam
-pressure origins
-of ego…one percent's
-all the shame is of them
-filthy rich wanting more…
They bomb, kill and order
-'Get me this, go for that…'
They are the dragons
-seated at river end
-only way to right life
-is return to the Marx
-not Moscow's, was corrupt
-neither of Ceauşescu
-but in some faithful way full of care
-some sort of prophet
-a Gandhi? Mandela?
-Mohammad?
-or Jesus?
Do not know
What I know is simple
'I'm tired! ', 'I'm tired! '
'I'm tired! ', 'I'm tired! '
Need to sigh…
I need a safety valve…
'Am tired! '
'Am tired! '
