Dec 2010
it's pushing me
down this life
all the gravity
that shoves
shoved for almost
twenty five ...
am I?
quarter of a
century air
poundage
and I transfer
your pain
his pain
their pain
into my head
and can't even
help it
the weight I
can barely carry
on my own
I'll carry
yours too.
because that's
what I
always
do.

A.N.: How do you respond when your friend tells you they've just witnessed a fatal bike accident, and if it was a second later, it could have been them? You write poetry. That's what.
