Dear, Raymond
when we were younger
I hit you over the head
with a milk jug.
...

I will not believe
Not until equally all are seen
And from no child's eye a tear gleams
No, I will not believe
...

I fell in love under the autumn skies
As I watched her dance in the midnight light
I watched my world change with open eyes
I fell in love under autumn skies
...

I do not think I will ever age
At least in my mind, it seems that way
I do not believe I have ever aged
Unless I have and my memory of it faded away.
...

While they are still happy
And innocent
And Kind.
...

The pedophial pedeatrion
Browses his waiting room
While the vegan butcher
Is in a tiresome mood.
...

I wish I were drowning
In a calm blue serenity
Or at least sinking
Into something like that
...

I ever the narcissist
I ever the proclaimer
I ever the knowledgable
I ever the more full of myself
...

I only know what I have read
About undescribable moments
Of joy and inner comfort.
...

Why don't be so uppity
My poor little Guppity
We march til we're old
Or dead
...
