sit still for today
will you feel the silent
I am here

6.25.2004

this life is such a
circus we need to dress up
hello dear

6.24.2004

they're holding a party
next to the statue owl
five birds in a row
wonder whether to invite her

I try to peek a word in
my mouth works slow
their trail of words
drifts a new path

why does my mind
travel a craggled road
let me sit my book
quiet this corner

flying off they wonder
why she still stands
still as stone
missing all their joy

6.23.2004

cold gray me - now sit
still stone glaze my eyes from you
slowly melt

6.22.2004

hold the air - it lies
lightly on the fingertips
now puff

6.21.2004

'scuse me sir, will you
look my way - give me your time
daddy please

6.20.2004

let me take your hand
help you cross the room

sit there and be quiet
watch and learn

your betters are speaking
gold falls from their lips

one day you will be like them
better than others
