The thought of being broken 

Intruded on my healing factor 

So what I feared thought rent was paid for 

Never pained me to say anything 

Because layers were more than 

The amount of mattresses the pea 

Invited for a sleep…

I remember when 4 sticks of EMT 

Saw my foot as a resting spot 

And you stopped it- like superman

Car falling and helping a ch… 

You’ve helped me feed my children 

How we break bread I’m ashamed sometimes 

I…

The tall task was remembering it all

Then laying down with it 

The sheet became a bit ruffled 

Feather sips the liquid in past life 

The liquid that was passed on 

Gives me the juice

Who could drink to that…

The case 

Contained evidence 

That was concrete 

A way was paved 

That paid off 

What I did to get them off you 

Would make a mosquito bite 

But it was no big deal 

The real- asked for a movie to…

Many cities have asked for my presence 

A fair request

The fair I request comes with punctuation 

No charging straight ahead 

The swivel instead is par 

I’ve traveled far with only these syllables 

Became miserable 

The frame included merchandise 

During…

The bread makes me wonder 

If I need it 

Of course I do 

But I’m seated between a couple things 

A couple years is all I 

Do Re Mi 

The music my ears play 

Know that I have to give…

While I moved a round 

Ball

My esteemed guests had one

No question about it 

Their worries were swept to the side 

I wept inside and pushed aside of me

That I didn’t want to 

To the forefront 

My storefront…

Given breathing room 

At a fair price 

At the fair I paid 

A fare to have a conversation 

With the head alpaca

 lunch and dinner 

On different counters 

Have counters that count on 

The count being right 

I procrastinate then …

I waited for an intro that wasn’t coming 

No one told me about the context 

The clues 

And how to duck for cover 

Charge right in 

De barge is left for chico 

Stick to perfect is my timing 

Scripts that…

The brand is new 

Tag- I was it 

But I left on terms 

That couldn’t catch 

A vocab- it’s cold 

How I knife my way into things 

But needed

Like hot bread 

When the dough is short 

The vegetables inside …
