THE WAR
My mind and my body
On ten-cent battlefields.
My body is young
And eager for the touch of other bodies.
My mind is old
And quiet
And full of words
That will only mean something
Later.
As for me,
I would rather be able to love
things I cannot have,
Than to have things
I'm not able to love.
MOHAWK RIDGE
I used to think I went there
Because I wanted to be alone.
Later I found I went there because
I was alone.
RERUNS
Like overdue library books,
Some people stay on my mind.
OLD PAINT
I have a friend
And he loves me.
