Side By Side
let's go for
a drive and
you tell me
shotgun and
climb inside
the driver's
passenger
side but i
ask where
else would you
be but next to
me if i'm driving
but by reading
my own poetry
i take myself
back before i
could even try
to tag my words
influenced by
this this is my
style affirming
that i have
a grip on the
terra fauna
after all i've
only read
Turtle
Island two
times so
I'm not
to be
followed
by followers
that i know
what they
want i won't
be capable
of telling
them to
do what i do
forgetting to
say load your
gun with shells
with pellets that
will tell you by
their spread
what is to be
read then
that's where
i've failed for
none of my
shotgun
words hit
their mark
