be kind to me <br />fake mama, do not say <br />words unkind <br />as i also leave words <br />sharp as mongol pencil <br />in my study table <br /> <br />to your harsh questions <br />i do not answer and to your answers <br />to my pleadings <br />i do not make any reply <br /> <br />this is the best arrangement of the furniture <br />behind it is the closed door and to that door knob <br />is the lost key. <br /> <br />there is the window glass <br />a little bit frosty <br />i see your face and body and in vagueness <br />you also see me <br />on those cold early mornings <br />when the leaves still own the dew <br />when the birds are still asleep <br /> <br />take note <br />we all become interesting.<br /><br />RIC S.
