Find

me something
real to believe
in.

Why?

Child on the pavement
carrying stones.
Down came a car driver
broke child’s bones.
Ah, said the passersby
that’s his fate.
Gah, said the car driver,
I’m running late!

Shut up!

Go away.
Leave me alone.
No!
Don’t.
Stay?
Talk?
Even demons in the mind
can become friends in time.

Jump

monkey into a hoop monkey
damara damara dum.
Flip monkey somersault monkey
damara damara dum.
Give monkey money please monkey
damara damara dum.
Isn't this so much fun monkey
damara damara dum.
Except we're not monkeys monkey
damara damara dum.
We're little children monkey
damara damara dum.

Desperate

toes
curled at the
edge of a precipice;
body lurching
towards
nothingness.
