Notes About The Poem

Another HooDoo

Another HooDoo 

I Know You're Very Serious
Following Your Plan
But I Don't Seem To Play-Right
Any Way I Can.

I'm Just Another HooDoo
Picking Up A Scar!
Inviting 'Sober Mines' To Ask:
"HooDoo You Think You Are?"

I'm This I'm That
I'm Everything
I'm Nothing,
If Not Odd.

I Run The Range
I Ride The Slopes
I Saw The Face Of God.

But Anger Will Seduce Me
And Slicing Through With Guilt,
Will Wipe It's Blade In
Sad Charade,
Then Stuff It To
The Hilt.

Our Thoughts Can Come From Anywhere,
But, Mostly Not From You.
I Don't Share All Your Sympathy,
I Don't Care If You Do.

The Beasts Will Soon Arrive Again...
So I'm Off To Explore.
No I Won't Let It "Hit My Ass'"
As I Walk Out The Door.

I Cannot Cull Your Anger,
You've Bought It From Afar.
But I Still LOVE That Question:

"HooDoo You Think You Are?"
