Why did I think that
he would ever
(not)
be that into Me,

Even though he may have
Just
Said as much.

Should never have betrayed my own ears

Yeah, when I
Happen
To
know always

Just

Better than anyone else does here;

I am always standing

Just

That one step
Ahead of you.

So, Then
What is this Answer?-

I will close the door
In mens
Faces,

I will pray

On Christmas Eve

For Christmas Morning,

And for
It’s delivery.

Be the mess

Be your own Best.

Let the light be the light.

Be actress or gymnast
Or a U.N. Ambassador
Or just yourself.

Be angry,

Be uncool.

Make the rules up
And don’t follow.

I threw a curve
ball.

You said that you liked it.

I mean,
What the ****?   -

And is at these times that I have liked it, As well.
At other times, I am
Filled with a hatred
And with Misunderstanding.
Not everyone else could take it
Nor are all expecting it.
It is almost as rare, here,
As is being
Uncircumcised;

Maybe it's that I only wanted to believe what you said,
And didn't
About my *****.

I just want to plant my poems each
Inside of books
To watch them live
And to smell them up

My major contribution
Toward my life
Will be that I didn't end my life.
Everything else will be Gravy.

Too much random or

Idle cruelty

I want to die

There's no one home with the lights on

I don't want to be alone tonight.

I could understand what it's like to be rich and to lose
A million dollars,
Or to lose a family

Though I've never been rich.
