ho ho ho<\/p>\n
i laugh to myself
\nfinding a cough drop stuck to a candy corn
\nin my mixed up bowl of pacifiers
\nstill figuring a way to leap frog
\nfrom oral
\nover anal
\nleap even not knowing to what
\nnext\/follows
\ni hope it’s not normal fixation
\noh……<\/p>\n
i’d druthers be oral than anal
\nit keep away sorters and users
\ncause i’d druthers use myself up
\nthan bugger my very best friends<\/p>\n
six only days of Autumn
\nautumnal leaves they’re all fall downs
\noh poets of Michael’s petition
\nplease will too stay one week longer<\/p>\n
“there is no death” he tells me daily<\/p>\n
she’s hurting
\nher babies safe
\nyet in their tiny faces they present
\n“why is this happening?”<\/p>\n
long is the way
\nsorrow is the path
\nof why we choose this path or that
\nblank is the slate
\nuntil we write it
\nuntil after we’ve walked
\nthe way we talked<\/p>\n
answers, my great grand babies
\nlive in the future past
\nwill to be revealed
\nin the future present<\/p>\n
maybe December
\ndoes not have an ides exactly
\nnever thewhateverdon’t mind
\nmy greatest hope\/wish\/desire\/want
\nis all to find
\nwhat they love and do it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
