Reading by Andy Derryberrry Music by David Jackson from Dreams
Okay I’ll write more
and take the time to cry more
It takes time to cry
you have to make time, to stop,
because doing, doing, doing is what
we are told
is the way to be.
I’m writing a poem.
Never write a poem about writing a poem
that what we teach
and that’s what I’ve done
so never mind,
Nevermind as the walls
crash, as the walls crumble,
crumble as surely as the tanks fire at them,
and as surely as babies die.
yessireee
don’t ever write a poem
about writing poems
and that is what I’ve done
so
never mind
