I write about writing a lot because I care about it.
I also write about you a lot.
That’s not an invitation for arrogance.
Things I love can hurt me,
but
you know that already.
Imagine Silliness
Imagine how silly it would be
for me to disregard you
because you look different
compared to me.
Do you
in turn
feel the same of me?
Poetry Puzzle
A puzzle of the mind
written out plain to us
and unplain to others,
figure out meaning
by way of reading the puzzle.
Come up with your own solutions.
Me in the Room
I walk into the room, not knowing anyone.
I strut.
I appear casual, friendly.
People talk to me.
They laugh.
We have a good time.
They invite me back.
They like the guy in the room.
I go home.
I relax.
Finally, I can be myself again.
Marriage
“She next to me,
and I her.
This was reality,
not a dream.
I could not believe
it were possible
that I and she,
or I and anyone,
would actually
come together
becoming one.”
Early Chapters
Those early life chapters were standard.
The middle patch was rough.
But the book of you got better towards the end.
I’m glad you saw it through.
Usually Change Comes
Change
usually comes
when someone
eventually
says
“Enough!”
Change
usually comes
when someone
eventually
says
“Stop!”
Change
usually comes
when someone
eventually
says
“No!”
Usually change comes, unless it doesn’t.
If it doesn’t, make a change.
