whisping smoke
\nfrom my daughter’s wood burning stove<\/p>\n
miniature lemon tree and jasmine plant
\ntaking turns aromating my room<\/p>\n
an Adam’s Family show not previously seen
\nbeing evicted from their home<\/p>\n
“Every dog’s a lucky dog at Aaron’s” (?)<\/p>\n
btw, I’m Prince Edy now
\nergo
\ni’m off to play.<\/p>\n
no longer angry raise my voice
\nthat was near the end
\nin the middle and from birth
\nit was branded
\n“keep your mouth shut”
\nno blame
\nit was in those unconscious days
\nthough, they say,
\natonement still is mine
\n(and yours when you ‘get’ it)<\/p>\n
ha ha you say,
\nnot much play.<\/p>\n
when it’s old and gray
\none does, if not before,
\nlearns
\nlistening to the self
\nsure tis easier
\nin times for being alone
\nmay i say should
\nyou (i) find your
\ninterior gut heat rising
\nbefore it bursts out your mouth
\nlisten to yourself
\nif it feels like a chattering monkey
\ntell your self to slow down
\nor see how fast to write it down
\nyes i’ve gone too far<\/p>\n
may i be excused?
