the house next door makes me
sad.
both man and wife rise early and
go to work.
they arrive home in early evening.
they have a young boy and a girl.
by 9 p.m. all the lights in the house
are out.
the next morning both man and
wife rise early again and go to
work.
they return in early evening.
By 9 p.m. all the lights are
out.

the house next door makes me
sad.
the people are nice people, I
like them.

but I feel them drowning.
and I can't save them.

they are surviving.
they are not
homeless.

but the price is
terrible.

sometimes during the day
I will look at the house
and the house will look at
me
and the house will
weep, yes, it does, I
feel it.

Lost myself today
Another forgotten yesterday.
Past is fleeting because of futures creeping
The winters approaching, it’s getting cold.
I start to fold.
Things have to change

I lost my feeling today
Numb from issues with pain
Tell me if I am sane…
Wrong in my head to say the least.
Someone call me a doctor, better yet a priest.
Possessed by shame,
Please forget my name.

I lost my sight today
Just another train wreck
Not the tragedy one would expect.
Something a little less…
The elimination of a speck.
Nothing to see here move along.
Change the tune; change the song.
Change something…this is wrong.
I’ve lost too much now…
Blacking out…going to sleep.
