Description
here with me again
gold line
sometimes fine
sometime with idiots devine
untimely is the onset of any PTSD
no rhythm and nothing to see
thats me trying to hide my face behind my elbow
my arm
the backing of the meeting
eyes still peering
i again, don't even know what is happening
strangely overwhelmed
wishing it was this rare occasion
is it related to the nightmares
is it related to the victimization
victimization - they say it is over
over what - they don't know
get on with your life
could the affects be killed
could they be drowned in this everyday maintenance therapy of art
periodically, perhaps they are
art has saved me more than just once
more than one hundred times
more than the number i know not to put into my mind
i'm glad your with me
your hand nervously wishing to comfort me
though, is it an hour of this, your still hear
you never left the shaking body riddled
art makes it a good ride
that is my pen in the book
poetry time
time and time again
trying to help people with their lack of boundaries
especially with a Veteran with PTSD
depressive disorder
try talking from a distance
try not to be rude
if there is no room, there is no room
stop squeezing into my lap
get your shit out of my face...
etc.
that is the reality of the train ride sometimes
and the crackheads say
well, pretty much, any damned thing!
i put another song in their ear
because they think nobody will step up to their crazy
i don't always
but sometimes i do
especially when the thickness of it gets a little too close
or way too close
but overall - art has saved me so much in public transportation!
thank U... i think i rambled out of a poem into the tangent spaces of reality

peace and love
and please remember me on 8/29
for the #EscapingSkidRow project
buy at least a box of cards, and please, invite all your friends
don't worry, i won't get mad if you invite thousands of friends or more
and i won't get mad if you only share with a few people. and i won't even know if you don't share at all... of course - it might be that this year hundreds of thousands of people buy a box of cards, as opposed to just a few last year... then i will know that you shared!!! 🐸 ❤️
