Replying to a comment on:
Forward My Mail (Free verse) by Shardik
Still, things come from you
To me, opportunities to vote,
or maybe add my name to the
"Wall of Tolerance" (The ability) in
between Sandy Cheeks & Robert Black -
- Water. Things on self publishing,
and workshops upon mountain tops.
Postcards, and your tiny smile.
Straight dark-hair, pale-skin, Sagittarius,
and all the patience in the world.
But I am of many shoes; a pair at a time
A man of rhyme, and mesa. Nomadic,
drunk on celebration, and observance
Completely alone in a stadium of cheers
Acknowledgments, and one night stands
Hotel soap, and contraband. An old white
van with a license plate to everywhere,
but where I want to be.
And every once in awhile
When I'm down on style.
And staring at my pile
Of letters in denial
I recognize your ink,
and think that it's lovely
how you remember me
and how I used to be
Even when by all honest(y)
accounts, you don't have to,
but you do, forward my mail,
Michelle...
And as the dark star rolls over me
rolling off of things I'd rather not say?
I know you know that in this life
you'll always have the memories,
and replay.
