somewhere beyond the baseball fields
inside my mind
i see myself in a linden tree
toes grazing the grass
with the perfect knot of a noose
tight around my neck
the names of all the people
i've never met
and all the places
i've never been
fall from my mouth
and from my mother's eyes
i won't apologize
