poem - STREAM

write


about what? stream of consciousness


the devil in you


can't hide


want to run, sounds so trite.  what does trite mean?


curt cobain is a demi-punk-rock-God.


why do I never get included in these movements?


what movements do


move.  what moves me?  water, sun, rain, gas


i want to be good at something. i want to be great at something.


i remember when i used to read e.e. cummings in 7th grade.


what he got was noth


now i am in search of things that will make me feel profound.


i know profound, i can't write profound. 


what i have is noth


i have a chicken.  a chicken that is a rooster.


chicken comb red, chicken feet orange.


how can anyone eat chicken feet . . . they are so beautiful?


i try too hard.  i think i lost my imagination.


this is a puzzle far to big.  too many pieces


only expert puzzle puttogetherers do these kind of puzzles


my grandma


she would do this kind of puzzle


she would hoe a garden in nice shoes and a big hat and lipstick


a farmer's wife for god's sake.


a boy with no shirt, no shoes and no arms picking up dirty money with his mouth


prostrating his forehead to the cold pavement and my feet, for me giving him just a little money


but i couldn't give him a shirt, and i couldn't give him arms


where's the salvation?


how can i save the world if i don't know how


the world isn't for me to save, just to love ~ no matter how horrific


but sometimes i hate it, hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it.
