i get scared sometimes

and have to go look in to the closet to see if his clothes

are still there

i have been known to imagine a situation

and then get involved in it, upset, angry and

cry hot tears

i have gone after people

with guns

once i tried to hang myself and got terribly ashamed

afterwards because i was really faking it

i have gone after people

with rocks

i have cursed out old white lady cart pushers in

supermarkets who block the aisles in slow motion

i have gone after people

with my fists

i have walked out on pavlovian trainers who mistook me

for a dog

i go to sleep and have dreams about falling

and can’t stand the suspense so i sweat it out

and land on my feet

i have gone after people

with poems

i get scared sometimes

and have to go look into the mirror to see if i’m

still here
