Reconnect

The person I was wants

to meet the person I am.

We could sit down for coffee,

but I bet we would only stare

at each other.  With not much

to say.  

So I hate to do this, but I am

not returning the call, not showing

up, and my usual latte will get

cold unless my other decides

to drink it up.

Take Us Home

I've had one too many

before I know

and I feel my legs bending,

so take me home.

I've read one too many

words, and seen one

too many hero pulled

down by reality, so take

me home, quick

I've met one too many

people, seen one too many

hidden truth, and had one

too many bitter conversations,

so take me home, so soon.

Pop a Joint

I'm all bound up,

pressing against bone,

ready to pop

My affinities, my

contrary nature, should

be loosed

I was banished by

my own fascination,

and I have to confront

my own self,

So pop me loose

from my bones.
