dy.sin the writer Poems

you would think
that if we didn't sink
after finding a million and one
untraditional ways to cross a river
...

i told my eyes to say nothing
my tongue to blink i'm better
without you
i trained these hands to sing
...

i dream of a day that shall never come
unless races are faded out completely
and faces no longer hold a hint
to cultural identity
...

you were the dream
as a teen
i must have stapled
my eyelids shut
...

if only

YOU
...

i had planned to spike the punch
and watch old classmates throw up their lunch
and fall over their knees
dancing to music that told our age
...

he's lukewarm
has one foot in the pool
his leading line is BE PATIENT
leaving you feeling like the fool
...

Her body bends in corners like goners
looking into the eyes of the storm.
Terrified of the pressure put on us
...

Each day I fight to convince myself:

that it matters not what I wore
what I said before
...

A doctor is expected to be just that
So is a lawyer and a dentist
No one ever asks the lawyer to clean his teeth
or the dentist to appeal a prison sentence
