Goodbye Oct 5

I know there's wolverines and babies blanket's
under my bed.
couch potatoes rule our society and
women and minorities are oppressed
a bobby-pin haunts memories
and old diaries conceal the past
jealousy marks my vision of photographs
playing pretend makes me warm
but hot stoves make me burn
a future unimaginable... all that's good
and bad.
closets with ghosts, distant pasts
not so distant anymore.
tragic endings--Romeo & Juliet
Leondardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet and Jim Carey
mouthing the words she's about to speak.
car crashes that take lives
teenage suicides
and the women come and go
talking of michaelangelo
cosmic forces; imaginary fortress
alliances and reality t.v.
knowing you might need me.
