The Cure Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is raining so hard
early dawn
and you wake up and
want to take a walk
alone

you know you are crazy
but you know you cannot do anything
about it
to resolve it

perhaps a walk this early dawn
under the rain
alone will do the curing.

ah, you have a broken heart
but for how long?
ah, you feel you are being
rejected,
but who had never been one?

think, think some more and be
comforted
you belong to the majority
but you did not know it well.

listen, some are singing their
love songs
while walking under the rain
cold, and still dark, at dawn.
