Question: What is it that we want!? Should it be simple and selfish!? What!? What!?
I will be free for this moment!.
I want to tell you some-
thing
and you should listen
as I am gutted and you
the source!.
I will say simple
things!.
I want you to hear me
I want the score
to be monumental
when I am through
but for now just hear me
and do not shun the wounds
I create!.
There will be no metaphor
these wounds are hanging flesh
with no intent to shock
I have so much to say
I want you to listen
you should hear me now
it is the only way
to become me!.

I,
and I will
speak
alone!.

I was running behind
trying to catch up on
…… Things

I tried to listen;
my mind raced on ahead

the simple things!.
You were saying!?
Where was I now!?
Coffee might hit the spot

Yes, coffee, I shall have a cup
Yes the day is daunting
Monumental you say!?
Damn I spilt the coffee
It is burning my flesh
I m such a schlock

I am listening

Yes!?
Spit it out already I say

Yes dear, you have a nice day!.

I am listening, but
I have no desire to become you
(I think that would be unbecoming of me)!.
What I want is to garner knowledge
To pick your brain without
Gouging it out
So that I can speak
In my own voice
When the time is right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
