What I know


I know this much
From my head to my toe
Inside, but not out
So I shout
Scream, whisper, yell
My mind I have to tell
Sold when nobody tries to sell
That much I know

Work Inside
So I can go outside
Grass will grow despite me
From fields in Hong Kong
To the flowers I water in my front lawn
The less I think, the more I know
The more I will grow

A communal harvest
An ensuing feast
But not for show
Assumptions that manifest
Is the preventable beast
Me, myself, and I
I can control
Unfounded worries are what matters least
This much I know




Sit and Wait

Something new
I can’t do it
There is something to it
My mind works in a different way
What you do right now takes me two days
Just go back to where I graze

Unthoughtful, uncaring, rude
It’s this situation,
That’s why I am searching for food
This shit is weird, this shit is wrong, this shit is different
This shit justifies my lament
All around me smog and haze
Just go back to where I graze

My reflection sees me sitting, silently
Lonely because of chosen anonymity
Fear runs all through me
Blocking out reality

One bold sprint,
A move that motivates
Do as I must
And be done, what needs be
The shit of fear decomposes and matriculates
Into the dead ground, now I look at the haze
A new place to graze

    "This Much I KNow" is cool...I like the rhythm and the rhyme scheme.

    I like the second stanza of sit and wait.
    It rings in my head.
    A whisper and a thrill
    A whisper and a chill

    The 11th Commandment.
