Poems
Mar 2020
growing up poor
I was young and jumped
with both feet
into new ideas
into forms
I didn’t understand
someone wanted me
someone promised me
something big
and I don’t know
that I really believed them
but I was young and
while not dumb
I thought
why the hell not
anything is better
than this
