ME : Dear Uncle Stan

Sent: 9/11/2006 12:05 AM


the thing i remember the most
about you and me
since i first came into birth
was my riding with you
on your motorcycle
back in the seventy somethings
i remember being so scared
yet thrilled
when we were out there


i was safe

on your motorcycle running wild and free
across interstates in every direction
places to be seen and none explored
and you've almost explored every one

you are secure

the thing i know now
is that you
are about to go for a ride
out into the sun setting
just like the movie star
you've always been
to me in my life
and although that makes me sad
i know i'll see you
again

so drive
we're all holding on
to your waist
so drive

love will never let go

i love you

Chad

i play russian roulette
with my life
because i don't trust God
to take
the next shot
discounting all my worth

nevertheless i still
Believe in You

now i don't know much about polls
or what they really want to say
or even who's been asked
but i would be a child left behind
if i was consistently testing in 30s
out of 100

isn't that failing?

he splashes cologne
upon his face
and the perfume
lingers
on his hands

fingers
upon my skin
testing
for my pulse

am i breathing?
do you hear
the rhythm
of my heart
beating?

am i still
alive?

and

now I walk
with the sweet
sweet smell
that sweet,
sweet unique
smell

had
all day

Poetry : alone

i run my fingers
through these dry
sands of time

just feeling
like crying

feeling lost
like the desert
when that dune buggy
made a wrong turn
so now i'm out here

in this wilderness alone

all
