what does it take
to appreciate
a poem
they all want drama
as if there werent enough trauma
already
happys like a star
pretty but much too far
to be caught
all the ones who try
have all gone home to cry
once or twice
so we look at them and think
not gonna drive myself to the brink
of crazy
so what does it take
to appreciate
a poem
a takes a certain mind
to put unhappy behind
to live
