Michael I will
drive to the house
but please try and
think past your house
as a house or a home
and instead
somewhere you belong
I watch you stand on the lawn
Mike, waiting for no one to come
and for the sweat from your
mental state to be wiped
off on its own
should be fine if someone
actually cared
but they left
to attend your niece’s birthday
party and ordered you not to
complain
so don’t blame
anyone
How could you blame?
when you can barely
say your name?
I can’t think like you exactly
but know that there is
a feeling I get
when something is unjust
How can your parents
take so much care
of you when you follow
them around at fifty one?
At some point
they are gonna let you go
or let themselves out
if you know what I mean
I’ll leave that last one
unclear- for you Mike
You need someone to be there
for you to drive you home
I can’t find the music player
Mike, buy your own
ask your mom
to buy your headphones
too, because I might
need my spare
in case it breaks.
Wish you had a spare
to take you out of your
box- must be simple
like being trapped
in a maze that
a second grader
could navigate
I’m losing hope
and longevity’s never
everlasting enough
to believe in it forever
All I can do is wish
you can seize any part
of the world
with the force of
gravity
even if it means
just
taking hold of
a butterflies wings
and know that
its yours for your moment of victory.
