only room for one on the
lifeboat.
a lottery of sorts
and i'm going home.
a noble soul
offers her life in
place of mine.
the death of a
child that the flood
failed to grasp.
in my main artery
sits a household thief.
a random event.
a curable disease.
I am respectable.
The absence of no one
with claims unspoken.
I am respectable.
Coffee-stained business suit
with blood-stained interior.
Interested in my
corporate adventure?
I am respectable
on a dining room
table, fishing with
my child unborn.
A little more food
to go around
with this abortion.
Rent is paid
by the blood of innocence.
I rent my life
just to spend an hour,
peacefully.
I am respectable.
disturbance is all i want
to create.
a little ripple turns
into a typhoon.
and will you remain on
the shoreline?
i decided to step out
today. no message. no reply.
i have my patience.
