I've been around
The sun
Twenty-two times

Life's not fun
But Death's one
Long line

I look at you
and the world turns
into flowers

I would very much like to jump
off the page
I would like to enjoy anew
perspective,
more depth,





                        if you will
help me off the ground --
these are just words --
help me live in this space
and be a poem.

You are all the great words.
