Hillsboro Occasion

By DikeMent

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If you stalk me, hold me gently. If you rob me, take the TV and turn the lights off. Indignation, self-mutilation. Its all the same. Rhyme these kids to sleep. Drive a car into a ditch. Seed's are sewn every quarter-hour. I passed out yesterday, and woke up shameless. I need a free path. My friend walked a freeway exit, Lined with glittering stars. How close I am, I'd have killed, "To be where you are." Turn the lights off, And strip search the battery wires. Turn the lights off, Hold me gently, Use a magnifying glass, But don't start fires. Branch out. Written April 13th, 2002 © on Apr 12 2002 06:04 PM PST   0 • 10
