Poems
Mar 2017
Jesuit Joe
Locked in to aΒ system
that's built in
I'm tilting.
There are no windmills
they are in fact dragons.
I surrender
but
they want
anΒ interest
payment.
So
my heart beats two beats faster
I try to slow down
but go down
again.
In the end
in the fire
I find there
some
sense of a
higher power
and that beats all.
