You Wished You Knew
Shake your pockets
jiggle the coins
whistle through your teeth
bring out the dice
think of your Dreams
remember the dead and the living.
2002.
Whistle some more
look at the sky
shake your head
roll the die.
2002
Your nose is sweating
don't look at the sky
see your Vision then whistle some more
smell your own fear..
2002..what do you bring??
