Foggy Eyes
A city of strange sights Something sinister is hiding beyond the lights Your comfortable ignorance blinds you from the war I wonder if the fight is worth it anymore The calm babble of a fountain near Contrasts the cries for help barely reaching my ear The place where our humanity is lost And we leave one another to rot I used to think myself a giving person But I have since learned my lesson I ask a man with a bourgeoisie air For change to help pay my train fare His face tightens when he looks at me "Sorry, I spent it all on overpriced coffee," And for another night I'm stuck here

Many-colored square of cotton, Good for head or neck, back pocket, Some artist sweetly brought this in A weaving Davy Crockett. We like the many uses for a single cotton cloth, Just as we like the many spices in a single vegetable broth. We like the roots of trees from which trunk and branches spring; We like the Deepest Joy there Is, within which is everything. Which is, indeed, all things.

The world falls upon me, So heavy, Yet I outlive it, Piece by piece fixing life.

People keep asking me "What do you want your life to look like in five years?" they always cringe when I say "I just want to fight long enough to open my eyes tomorrow morning."
