The Key You See
The key you see is letting you, accept me. Oh, how I hide from that, run from that, flee
from that. I must be in control of what
you think of me. I curtain off the view
of me I don’t wish to share with you.
Add to that the unusual choices of what I hide. I will strip down with all the lights blazing
long before I would let you see me drop the ball, be confused,
misunderstand. What I truly fail to
realize is that in the process of trying to hide my faux pas and fumbles; what
I show you is my controlling ass.
Backside bare I moon you with my freak show trying to hide my humanity.
Your compassion and tolerant waiting for me to calm down and open my eyes is
the key I fail to see about you.

RANK
I took an area
level service position
And my sponsor
laughed herself off her chair
What is your
motivation for this? she asked
I want to move up
through the service structure, my reply
Are you trying to
make rank?
Problem with that? I
ask
Ever heard of
self-fulfilling prophecy
You will become what
you desire
You will become rank
And you will stink
The triangle is
inverted to help you clean up your act
Don’t get washed away
in a tide of ego
I put down my swim
fins
And removed my
epilates
