i laughed at caskets,
cried in the pound.
a hundred expectant eyes of
scared little children, dogs
i couldn't bare
to be that alone.

shiny cadilliac breezing by
stacked cities with
grey toxic billowing clouds
shout covered windows
i felt guilty, for a moment.
then, rolled up the window.


precious tiny bird
in parents porcelin hand.
i dust my cheek
and think not of the
sad stories, stacked high
on the other side of town.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
