I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

A Difficult Kindness

Knock me over the first time,

the dust, that had settled & grouped

together into bunnies on the floor

will clump together, in an airborne cloud.

I'll dust myself off, having to be 

acquainted with them & go on about my day.


Knock me over a second time,

my rear end will become a spring.

The contact between the butt & floor would only last seconds.

Being temporarily airborne &

placed back into my original stance.

I will not, say anything, but

my mind's nerves

mine as well said it for me

having gone to the shooting rang,

shooting off witticisms

like spare bullets.


Knock me over a third time,

you'll be traveling down

beside me.

Not giving you the time

to process, but to acknowledge

the sense of second hand

Deja vu that is taking place before you.
