tired
i want to sleep
and explore

maybe friends

Week 47, Day 324 – “Another Country”
Week 47, Day 323 – “Last Place”
Last Place
if i run a race and finish in last place
i’ll be happy to have started
working my way as hard as i could
watching the other go by me
until i lose sight of them in the distance
and in the spring air darkness
be invigorated at finishing
even after the celebrations were finished
i may have been in last place
but i was there, and i competed.
Week 46, Day 322 – “Undiscovered”
Undiscovered
life
talent
happiness
the potential in the little girl in the back of the room in mrs janes second grade class
a snapshot of love spent in the summer heat
the one place where I belong
Week 46, Day 321 – “Gunned Down”
Gunned Down
the bitch just wouldn’t shut up
and that’s what got us gunned down
we was safe, no one knew nothing
then she goes blabbing to her girls
and next thing you know vincent
sends his boy bobby out for us
man that guy is smooth
caught us still in bed sleeping
sprayed us full of wounds
no chance we’d make it through
real professional like, nothing left
Week 46, Day 320 – “Four Hours Time”
Four Hours Time
getting up after a restless night
knowing that in four hours
i’ll be standing in front of money
the people who can take my little idea
and fund it to its full vision
from there everything is possible
Week 46, Day 319 – “Grows”
Grows
we all grow up
to be grown ups
watching grass grow
to slow the process
passes days slowly
but they still keep coming
and the grass gets longer
and our beards get longer
and the birds sing their songs
Week 46, Day 318 – “Pain”
Pain
it has been so long
since we started
with pain or pleasure
i’ve long forgotten
i know just that
pain is left
and torn minds
Week 46, Day 317 – “Mostly”
Mostly
i am living a happy life, mostly
Week 46, Day 316 – “Camel Races”
Camel Races
awkward camels
trip out of the gates
and start their circle run
monkey robots
whip them faster
owners ride their SUVs
along the track
and we are on the inside track
in our bus, tourist
on an unpleasant holiday
bored, and wishing for it to end
no betting, no commentary
nothing to keep us occupied
except race after race
without caring who wins
and no connection
nothing at stake
if they’d cook the loser
and feast him up
that would at least be something.
Week 45, Day 315 – “Mates”
Mates
friends for life
married young
end game win
