Poems
Nov 2011
Listen to the Silence
This road is forked so I walk straight
Left is only right, but opposite
and right is only wrong, but different
I am talking in circles
I am walking nonsense
I am singing television
and watching harmonies in solitude
I am walking on my hands
I am writing with my toes
I dream in a reality
and live in a fantasy
what is right in front of me
comes at me from behind
a bullet skewers my back
while a knife shoots through my chest
I paint sculptures and statues with crayola
and I build Mona Lisa with bricks and stones
I dig to the depths of Mount Everest
I climb to the top of Death Valley
I dance in stillness to silence
I sleep in motion to beats
I talk to myself
I listen to you.
