dad asked this after
I told him I felt like one
they (all the not-me's)
are wearing faces and bleeding
under their noses, red and yellow
sunshine pokes from behind their
clouds on a TV not far from
their faces, eyes dried and frozen
they saw pieces of wood from a half
broken home to make a new one
(makes bedtime easier)
but the not-me's are facing ground
constantly walking deeper into dirt
cutting the limbs they stand on
putting together puzzles on the linoleum
(forcing pieces that don't match)
I want to tell them to look up

scary but good.......hope you're holding up under all the work!
not one to analyze :)
constantly walking deeper into
dirt, cutting limbs they stand
on, very deep indeed, holly.
Thank you so much Jo! I am needing to come here to "get away"!
Scot, funny...yeah...I, on the other hand, analyze too much!
Cynthia, I'm sure sometimes I'm the not-me's walking deeper and cutting limbs...thank you!
