Running Wild


I was very, very green with all the things they tell you not to be---
green with

It was clouding everything up here
with things I knew not to be true

But this is what happens when you know---
better

I parked my disposition in this---
position

With my obsessions and assumptions
I sat on a bar stool and played teacups---
to make it all go away

Only to go Mad
and find that what they teach you in---
books

All comes from way up here---
from back then
from way back when
