Easy To Ignore

It seems
my voice has become
easy to ignore

They talk over
me
They walk over
me

Not even
commenting back.

Knave

watch him, give him room
he's even dressed as a card
he will take what he can.

Bird Bath

they sprinkle
baptism
over themselves

other than one
bulbous
bird who takes
his wings

trying to splash
water
over his large
belly.

Circle Back Around

I will not
go all the way 
around the
world

just to circle
back to the
person I was
doing what
I always did.

Flinch

School yard
bullies
made you flinch
made you flinch

One day they
will grow up
to gain mid-sections
stand over grease pits

Life is ironic.

Euphemisms

my name
is something nicer
than what I actually
am

call me the pleasant
words
instead of calling me
out on my reality.

In Your Hands

Oh Lord
this day is in your hands
this life is in your hands

Teach me to trust you
teach me to be the person
you have called me to be.

Reminders

I tie a string
around my finger
I tie a rope
around my arm

big and small
reminders.
