one hundred thousand
chickens away from
combating poverty
and injustice
and instability
and racism
and disease
and hunger
and hate

allow us to go
allow us to go
first for a
change –
first to call
it for what it is,
–isms, -ists, -phobias –
and listen.
because unfailingly,
we are the firsts
to call it
for what it isn’t,
to call each other
out, the go-to tool
for those accustomed
to the short straw

of sharing
perceived treasures

things you love
things you love
and things you love
to hate are not so
different. years
have a way of
both sharpening
and dulling the
experience –

red velvet cake,
you know that
i mean ugh
and when i say
red velvet cake!,
you know that
i mean thank you,
you really
shouldn’t have,
i still love you

the fact of the matter is
the fact of the matter is
we climb into bed each night
carrying so much rubbish
and wake up every morning
the closest to equilibrium
we will reach, neither loving
nor hating. take that kernel
and stare into it, there’s
a world of possibilities

lost art –
the writing
brushes have
turned stiff,
the paper
stained,
and words
have long refused
to choose us
as vessels
for constructive
dialogue
