Alone Poem

alone your alone alone isn't a crime the problem is nobody wants to be around alone alone echoes nobody cares to hear it they'd rather listen to birds, a water fall, a 747 taking off a wailing baby -a beaver slapping shine into the pond nobody wants to hear the echo of alone alone Alone, nobody wants to kiss the mouth of alone they'd rather kiss a bramble, a rat trap, poison ivy a barnacled behemoth anything but alone alone Alone, nobody wants to hold the hand of alone they'd rather hold the muddy claw of a turtle a rake handle, their little bits or a big fat check but nobody wants to hold the hand of alone alone alone Alone is contagious you might become part of the equation expansion+ contraction = nothingness A million friends attended your 29th birthday party life contracts to a 79th birthday party sitting with 60 flickering watts and a dying cat alone alone your home has become a beast called alone-swallows you whole doesn't leave a single bone alone alone you're slapped into an old folks home a machine takes your blood pressure .. it reads 180 over alone without making eye contact the machine slowly shakes its youthful head leaving you alone with the echo from 29 footsteps an alone echo alone nobody wants to be around alone alone is far beyond the abyss or a bird less sky alone is a contagion of creeping isolation alone is alive!
