Eddie takes care of me. Our heads laid neath street lights, a wild sky, turned wrong, then right across the bend we haven't seen — just experienced. Forgotten flock with no stake, who solopsize only while hugging and kissing. Getting old. Craving more. The harmony of shucked clothes guising vulnerabilities **to someone who will listen.** With peeled eyes, and closed lips, his hands ride my hips, soft flesh meets tough skin, collapsing in. We look at the other. Please the other. Stroke the other with cupped hands, dead before bloom, fallen, uprooted.

Eddie takes care of me.
I could always sleep for a few moments more when we would lay in the grass imagining our bright beautiful futures all dreaming the same dream not like they told us now the writers selling insurance teachers flipping houses all living in the same world we grew up in we get drunk together talk about how it was all wanting to be fooled again

Hailed as the land of opportunity, The four corners sent humanity With promises of liberty For those suffering cruelty From religion, race and poverty. Today it's a land of delusion, Too many in exclusion Because of religion, race and poverty, By displaying inhuman duality. Come visit Canada, Here you'll see, What America once aspired to be.

O Canada... Oh, America
Burn it to the ground Not the block Not the town Not the police station Or the nation But the system We have been raising Needs razing Needs blunt blazing I’m raging It was my mistake In thinking we could be better So start at the local level And work your way to the top Start with the clergy and the city council Go ahead and hit Fox And don’t stop Till the bottom rises Till the rich find their surprises is Christmas gifts Of coal and **** Because they have been ruining it Just burn it all to the ground
