Laughter

laughter

that straight face 

has served you well

through four seasons

and many years

when you could have

screamed for help

instead of letting things 

undo themselves

slit of a mouth

crooked nose

faulty sound system 

and video

straight face

remains exposed

kissed and slapped

seldom needs repair

you've still got

a use for it l see

it hasn't aged a bit

more than me

Mybankaccount

My bank account

when I left the middle class

I had few regrets

held onto the accent 

but little else

saw the destruction

wrought by twenty million sultans

had to imagine 

being someone else 

You approach with caution

Unfamiliar with my medication

Your drug of choice is exhaustion

We merge and create situations

I began to relax

When I perceived no threat

I'd fallen out range

Of any panic attic

I slept close to the ground 

without making a sound

just an occasional nightmare

from that distant past

Blindness

I've been lost for words lately

They've been tied up 

In thoughts going nowhere

Eating each other up

As I feel a certain pressure

From below surging up

Passed you on the street the other day 

And I just couldn't stop 

I felt there would be nothing

To say I just gave up

To thoughts heading somewhere  

Looking for a way out 

Into distant galaxies

I'm gazing at stars
