The same place twice
a short life such as this is fre
quented by bugs and leaves
this is a
a sweet little life
one on the wrong side
of the tracks from strife
where wildlife is
fixed
where the wild life
is a fix
of a strange light
bright but gray like today’s
bright but gray like Today is
how’s it fair
how’s it fair
weather only
holds me together
I don’t know these streets
I don’t know these streets
I always see this park
I always see this park
I don’t know this part
of me
is there love
a love
that is
unhuman
that’s what we’ll have some of
