Poems
Dec 2013
What I learned In Boating School Is…
My knees were cold as they called my name
We’re all problematic we’re all the same
They’ll tell you the story
Spoon feed it to you
And you’ll take it
Tales of triumph and glory
Human nature is no fallback
It’s no safety net
Lives of give and take
Lies of forgive and forget
My society
Your society
Her society
Their society
Front page news
Post industrial smoke stack trees
Dying dying dying
Turns to ash
Harsh epiphany
First things first
The rest shall follow
Now please choose
Choose what pill you’ll swallow
