Letters To A Young Poet

Does it happen

February 9, 1996 — Filed under: mypoems

Does it happen like this every time Cuffed behind the back, wrists turned out Personal perspective arguing with other’s Reality on a very personal level Love found, love lost, lover pursued Ending in no love at all Are tonsillectomies better with Vanilla or chocolate Is not wearing underwear more offensive To men who sport tighty whities or boxers Calvin and Hobbes found my childhood So I put them on my bedroom wall Limestone and granite I’ve received From old acquaintances, it breaks up The pattern on the kitchen linoleum This is a brain fart I had taco bell and full metal jacket last night, What can you expect?
