Long Phonies Poems

Toddlers' Exploration:

Walking down the block
street lights they blind me,
trying to find a spot
where memories can't find me.

Homeless

No place to call my own, no where to have a home

Occasionally into the shelters I can stay
Where if I kiss their Asses they let...

"But don't forget, fear Him. You obey, and just wait"

Swiping unsure of who we are or were.
Where a tick...
