if i am a shark
i know why fish swim away
but i'm not a shark
there are plenty of  
fish in the sea, but not the
one who got away

Here is the poem,
a train on tracks who knows where;
"what wonderful sights!"
Richard j Heby Jul 2012
O'er scores of years and hundreds more we sing
the song of lady liberty across
land and shining seas where freedom rings
of strength in overcoming all we've lost.

The boys in green died camouflaged as men;
free to fight, they fought for freedom's rein,
and liberty and justice galloped when
the wind that raised our flag then sailed the slain

home: where the heart and Stars and Stripes were sewn
of nation's loosened threads of flags and sails.
The final folds undone as taps is blown;
brave souls are set to sea beneath its flails.

United by our rights, and one of which
states: "all men are created equal"-ish.
needs more work

who loves me the boy
who spoke about wonder
in front of all my graduates

i wonder
who thought i was lying
when i was lying about my story
and i wonder who thought i did well
well, because i guess i did

i wonder who thought i messed up
and who thought i did not
probably all on the first
besides my grandmother

it's best to pretend
you're drunk
-er

than you are,
then you can get away with more

apathy is useful
when recalling insults,
people who dislike you,
and upsetting situations

because then you remember –
i'm too uninterested to spend my time,
effort or thoughts

caring.
