Not excessively
realistic
what good are names
when they are ironic
they're good for a laugh
the first time anyway.

go away
your spot
is steeped
in bleak spirits
go kayaking
go running
do something
anything but
the same thing.

Picked up a walking stick
and set out to find
the point of their story
couldn't say
if they found it
but they seemed happy enough
at the end.

if it isn't real
it can't hurt you
but words do
thoughts can
things with no matter
can matter a great deal
seems unfair.

how could I say no
principles
will principles help
will they stop
people from doing
the terrible things
they are so fond of doing
I don't know
is ****** the best solution
hate and fear is mostly ignorance
can't we teach a better way
probably not.
