as i as
and age
am i forgetting
or being forgotten
i can’t remember
which is worse
and there is no one
around to ask
*
i got rejected
from my dreams again
and it is no help
that the dejection
makes me want to sleep more
*
i want to be huge
not to scare
or make people look
up to me
but so i can lay down
sprawl out like the sun
and make all feel less lonely
for there is my knee
and my elbow
and i’m here for you
*
i used to write
better poetry
but poetry is better
writing than what
i used to do worse
