too much too littletoo fat too thin or nobody.laughter or tearshaters loversstrangers with faces like the backs of thumb tacksarmies running through streets of blood waving winebottles bayoneting and fucking virgins.an old guy in a cheap room with a photograph of M. Monroe.there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clockpeople so tired mutilated either by love or no love.people just are not good to each other one on one.the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor.we are afraid.our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winnersit hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides.or the terror of one person aching in one place aloneuntouched unspoken towatering a plant.people are not good to each other. people are not good to each other. people are not good to each other.I suppose they never will be. I don't ask them to be.but sometimes I think about it.the beads will swing the clouds will cloud and the killer will behead the child like taking a bite out of an ice cream cone.too much too littletoo fat too thin or nobodymore haters than lovers.people are not good to each other. perhaps if they were our deaths would not be so sad.meanwhile I look at young girls stems flowers of chance.there must be a way.surely there must be a way that we have not yet thought of.who put this brain inside of me?it cries it demands it says that there is a chance.it will not say "no."
