A Hard Lesson Learned

I'll probably

run out of

money

because

you just

ate

and

ate

I'll probably

not have a

home

because you

took this one

as your own

and never

stirred

from your den

or made

any money

while mine

just went right

out the door

I'll probably

lose a friend

because you

took advantage

of the one

who lost almost

everything

just to fill

your selfish

goal

of not wanting

to go back

home

ASL

No one talks

no words

not a single one

move from their

heavenly lips

which could speak

of infinite

knowledge

and yet

every single

gesture

and

movement

flows with

so much

beautiful

emotion

and in all this

splendor

we understand

completely

Somethings Lost

I still remember

how to read

and dissect

with pinpoint

precision

all the

thoughts

visions

dreams

desires

of all these

old and dead

poets

but I forgot

how to even

understand

let alone

write down

my own
