Whaoh Whaohwah Waaaaoh
The times are changing,
and it doesn't help that
there are millions of people
seeing a rock and thinking
a poem, and a stained glass
window stretches across
everything, to break language
apart at the seams, because
one man's tears, are another's
fury, a belly roar of laughter
and a quiet smile,
because it took me a while
to learn, that no one is the same,
and that poetry marks our soul
as with a compass, to a place
that only we know, and the
real treasure is understanding,
and trying to fill
those sand clogged shoes,
and perhaps we'll never understand,
but see ourselves in the ashes
of another, our calm compatriot
poetic brother that speaks
with gumdrop rhymes, and
candy corn adjectives
to give us a treat of his life.
