Words

The best words I've ever said stayed
in my head,  the people are fine, dogs 
walking too.
The water glitters, the gulls make gull sounds.

I thought I had secrets but
God knows there's none to
be found.  I'm as wide as any 
book, smaller than the ants too.

I'm on my way to places
that welcome you in
dirty underwear, unbrushed
teeth and dandruff in your
hair.  I haven't seen my face
in a long time, it's no longer
really there.
