existing between
one's cautious optimism and
healthy skepticism
The clock will tick on
Turning back its speeding hands
Only speeds it up

i am most definitely your best friend
if
you
want
me
to
be.

i am most definitely the sun in the sky
if
you
see
it
as
so.

i am most definitely the snake in the garden
if
you
see
me
that
way.

i am most definitely the  lonely girl in the corner
since
i
see
me
that
way.

i found the poetry site
my little 15 year old sister is on
i hate reading her poetry
because it reminds me
how wrongly
she sees
everything
today she wrote a poem
about last night
when i saw one of her paintings
i knew exactly what it was about
but said nothing
she lied to me
then in her poem
wrote me
like a filthy
angry
wrong
sister
who misunderstands
art
oh,
sister
if that is so,
you and i
are the same.
We stand between all time and space
Poets on the head of a pen
Catch a ride on a speck of dust
Blown off by the wind

Twirling as if out of control
The days go rushing by
Reaching out to grasp a moment
As one or two captures the eye

We are bound together
Passengers on this speck of dust
Riding out our time
In this wanderlust

All poets with a purpose
To find that one true line
As we venture forward
In search of the perfect rhyme

I cling onto each note,
each word like a life support system,
and I'm on the decline.
Thanks for paying the hospital bill with
the song,
the words,
the notes
you left behind for me to live off.
