With no where else to go... Raserei Send a noteboard - 16/03/2010 05:25:09 AM
I present a poem.

"Try"

You'll have to try
A couple of times; its not
That I'm slow, I am
A pretty smart guy
Just On a very few subjects. 

Humans are interesting. We
Are interesting, don't you think?
I can understand time, yet miss
The unerring placement of
Your soft left hand upon
My cheek. 

Try again, just a couple
Of times and this I know
I'll notice sooner or later 
That warmth you possessed 
Or the shape you occupied, your
Radiant symmetry. 

O I will notice, love
Sooner or later
I've tabulated my behavior:
Selfishly squandering time alone
Distance from others (physically)
Distance from others (emotionally)
Preoccupation with the undaily innane...

Try again. To the ear or pinky toe
A pinch, to the knee a knock,
Or to these alien lips...

A fist to the solar plexus.

Try again; you'll notice
Sooner than later I 
Will knock,
Unerringly.
That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find
a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking,
somebody'll sneak up and write "F*ck you" right under your nose.
