vast operations of human kindness leave me exhausted & drowning in the heavy music of their pity surprisingly enough, they feel sorry for me--the one "helping" them the one compelled to sort out my own emotional knots through unraveling their lives into a perfect expanse of green yarn conversations with people just met lead me to discover more bruises spots of tenderness i was unaware even existed in me-the hard one with the walls i pretend are impenetrable & the smile that only falls off my face when i am alone to squash it under my callused bare feet i am no one's glass menagerie for if they look close enough they will be able to see the gleaming shards of glass that shine in my eyes like so many permanent tears rocks thrown long ago created an imbalance, disrupted my equilibrium and don't allow me to regain my balance no matter how hard i try copyright 2000 |
