As a stare at the lifeless wild animal
that I had gathered
and placed gently amongst the garbage
I can't help but notice
how it's hairless little body
stands out from the refuse
and how the blood
radiates into the paper towel casket
The murderer sits quietly in the corner
eyes darting
between the corpse and the ground
his furry head drooped in a shame
he doesn't understand
but knows I want to see
Anger swells in my chest when I notice him
How could he?
my baby clamped his jaws
teeth sinking into soft flesh
I imagine my baby
tearing the life from this small thing
I stew over the question
did it's death bring him joy?
My disgust threatens to escape my throat
but as my lips part
I can only stand in silence
As a memory washes over me
of the time, in anger
l had hurt someone's baby
so shocked by my cruelty in that moment
that I had dropped to my knees
and begged forgiveness
My anger falls inwards
with the reminder that I, too, fall prey
Is it my nature to hurt?
or is it my human nature
To regret
As his tail thumps against the cold tiles
his muscular body wiggles in excitement
it's only in his nature, right?
I toss him a toy
it squeaks as he clamps his jaw once more

Haven't You heard?
The great wave represents
so
much
more
Mona Lisa's smile is not happy
Let me tell you why
You just don't understand
what it means
Maybe if you were more in tune
With yourself
And your soul
You would know what they were saying
What they were expressing
With each color
Each stroke
Haven't you heard
The answer is definite
I know for sure
What they represent
What they mean
Don't you feel the same way?

My body is covered with wax
I noticed it today
It's a thin white gunky film
That will not go away
My body is coated with wax
It builds and builds and builds
I can't do anything I want to
My life seems unfulfilled
My body is layered with wax
I cannot even move
Not a day goes by that I don't wish
My situation would improve
My body is caked with wax
I guess I'll leave it be
I'll forever be cased inside this prision
I've accepted I won't be free
My body was enclosed with wax
Until a phenomenon
I thought of something else today
And suddenly it was gone
I cried as it fell off me
And I felt the fresh clean air
I felt like I could breathe again
There's was nothing to despair
Some days the wax comes back to me
But I know just what to do
I think of anything else I can
And my life begins anew
