Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

If I Didn'T Think What I Think, Here's What I'D Think

If I didn't think what I think...here's what I'd think....

I think I am a product of my raising.
Destined to be no better or no worse.
I'd think there is no reaping nor no justice.
I'd think fun is life and life is good.
And love don't live on my street no more.
Quarrelling and strife were the crux of life.
Thinking backwards is not that easy thinking forward is harder still....
Tomorrow is now until I close my eyes that moment is eternity....
My quiet place behind my eyes.
