6.21.17

 

Suffocating silhouettes,

Route 66 abandoned gas stations call to me

Smoking too many cigarettes

Thoughts that live in infamy…

 

(Languishing away in a coffeeshop on a Saturday

Vignettes of loneliness

Scattered through my mind

If only I had the courage

To stand up and say hello

Be heard, be seen

less obscured and obscene)

 

(Writing love letters

To those I wrote off long ago

They’ll never see it

it’s all just for show

You wanted me to stay

But you never let me know

Now here I am all alone

In a small town laying low.)

 

My poetry has now flow

My thoughts are a jumbled mess

I guess it’s nearly time to go

I’m feeling my old self less and less

Growth is important; Education is key

I still just want is a small place to call my own

And somebody who loves me.
