Write.
Right.

"What to eat?" we argued.
I was hungry from a day of reading,
And she was hungry from helping a refugee
"How about you help for once " she roared.  
Forgetting with anger that I fed her the day before.
Forgetting even more as her voice rose like the tides.
"Do you even understand how lucky you are?"
Thank ******* God we were born here I thought
While grabbing the last slice of pizza.

Low notes with the act of sadness.
Even with the wittiest of Wit,
The clown plummets downwards
Drowning himself with a whole bottle.
He’ll show you a role model.

I’ll show you a role model.

The show grew with holes—puddles.
Where men with no feet hustled
With souls sold to the so-called devil.
Closing with applause.
I will be publishing work like these a lot. Spontaneous and erratic. I like to call these my medicine since they help me cope with life. Maybe you'll find something similar in these. I hope.
