No harm to come
From feeling for for clues

Walk the miles
In your best pair of empathy shoes
Me, I'm white.... Im not singling out others
It's about my struggles to totally hear and listen about Black Lives Matter! & genocide of the native Americans, etc

Living with
Crushing fear
A variety of nuclear disasters
Are inevitable
Mistake or sabotage
Away

Ever trusting guys-in-charge
Won't pull that trigger
this crushing moment of fear

She says, "I'm annoyed by your breathing, you smell bad, you look like a wreck."

He wakes up and rolls over toward her, squinting. His ears and brain just begin to communicate. He realizes she just said something and he completely missed it. He decides to pretend he heard it.
He smiles and touches her waist.

She thinks, "He likes me to be mean to him?" and smiles, completely giving up on him.

He thinks, "She's smiling. She just wanted me to touch her." He smiles and falls back asleep.

If you're ever reaching for the words
To make fun of a guy like me
Say
"Hey there pothead with ADD,
I dare you to show me where you've put your key"

There is only one certainty.
Adding "and taxes" is
A spoon full of sugar.

Here he comes, Red the ***
Asking directions to where the ramblers are from.
He's not worried who hears when he laughs loud and cries.
Nobody frowns if he fails when he flies.
Wandering he provides us while he's manic and magic.
Experiences recorded in the Encyclopedia Akashic.

I must have missed a bus
Or slept all day when I should have gotten up
In this dimension.
Everything is familiar but wrong.
I was supposed to be doing something else.
I'm sure I met them
Or did that
In the other dimension.

Hugging a book,
Think I should be Reading, not hugging.
Must be doing that in the other dimension.
