A Stolen Life

2007-01-30T05:19:00.000-08:00

On the day I was born
I was dropped on my head

But I’m not dead

Fell from a tree
At the age of three

Landed on my head

But I’m not dead

I was run over by a hog
I got rammed by a goat
I was pummeled by a horse pulling a boat
All before I was five

I’m still alive

When I was ten I nearly drowned
Fell from a roof and hit the ground
Got hit by a truck crossing the road
Ate a poison toad

But have no fear
I’m still here

Wrecked my first car at fifteen
Tasted my spleen
Also wrecked a boat
Had a bulldog bite my throat

Craziest thing you’ve ever seen
But I made it to sixteen

One year later my girlfriend went nuts
Ran a twelve inch knife into my guts
Left me to die in a forest green
I was lucky once again

Although I bled a lot
Bleed to death I did not

Fell down a cliff from a mountain top
Mistaken identity
Shot by a cop
Caught Eastern Equine Encephalitis
Drank nasty water and caught hepatitis
Caught pneumonia on several occasions
And a couple of nasty parasite invasions
All in all I’ve pulled thru well

In my coffin not a single nail

Yep
Millions of people die every year

But I’m still here

Rainy day cheeks
Pressed against glass
Blurred by fingerprints
And breath

Fishbowl views
Of a world too fast
To hold little hands

Somewhere the warm hearth…

Everything Seen

2007-01-23T09:17:00.000-08:00

Awash in the day
I rub my eyes against the sting
The salty spray
Wagging tongues
And tears

I hold my breath when I can
When I have to
As to not have my lungs
Fill with liquid
Disdain

Something brushes my leg
Wakes me up
I am not alone in the murky wake
I am not sure
If this comforts me or not

I look at those above me
Only in relation to the world
I do not envy them
Nor do I despise
I am simply in awe

fair thee well

2007-01-17T12:34:00.000-08:00

I fade away
The scant clad of early eve
Clouds of milky water
Troops of the coming hither
Harbingers of the nigh
Linger amongst horizons
And under trees

Scathed air
Basking in iridescence
Asks not
Does not care one way or the other
Does not care

Have I the whithertoall?
Is there reason to this?
To me?
Answer not
It is well known

Wishful Eye

2007-01-17T11:20:00.000-08:00

The fish I throw back
The first evening star
A smile in the waiting room

Sand on the doorstep
The cool other side of the pillow
The dogs running the fence line, barking as the neighbor kids ride back and forth

Conversation over dinner
Slow walks in warm summer rain
Bumping heads as we both reach for the fallen pen

Waking
Breathing
Laughing

"I do not see this"
you speak
"I do not see this"
your hands moving
curious
motions about your head
your eyes
obviously
CLOSED

Closed

What do they see?
within the penetrated darkness of your inner eyelid
open them slightly
and the moisture (filling gaps like cassimer forces) creates photonic dancing

but not now
not closed as they are

why do you look so intently there?
"'Tis but an act" I murmur

But you are also deaf
