TWO FORMS OF ESCAPE
your writing is angry
is what that person implied
when we talked.
he went on to say,
it's too serious
and if i want that
all i need to do
is watch the news on TV,
and even the bands of late
these days make me sick
because they have
some kind of message.
i want an escape;
something that doesn't
remind me of what
is around me.
if that is the case,
then doesn't it
imply that looking
the other way
is the root cause
of our country's demise?
why should i look the other way
and be a fake?
this is the reason
i come here to escape.
does it make me angry
if i want to search
out what is true
by the way i feel?
you bet it does!!
