am not well learned or
political. I wear my hair big -
80’s style
I spread my thoughts wide -
nautical miles
I must write every day
put these thoughts on page
get them out there through the screen
it’s my way of mingling
without being shamed
you have a piece of me
I could commit suicide
if you don’t like me
because my writing is
my lover
my family
my friend
the host of the party
the only mingling
I do
