Books that unbind

Who is the protagonist

in these moving people’s lives

for sometimes

I think it’s me

because for me

it’s sometimes them

but then I move

and see others

and the books that unbind

reveal more interesting characters

like you

*

When everyone

is given a medium to write

who will read the high

and the low

and the piece here

produced on a medium available

to everyone

like a sloppy soul

that is born

not earned

and so goes through life

oblivious to those

untouched

uncertain

of the soul of all

*

The most unfunny act

is to be told to laugh

and the funniest

is to laugh when it’s forbidden,

which is a funny observation

so laugh

because I don’t want you to
