this post goes out to my cct people

for jamiee

things I am grateful for
my body to carry me

words that form
at the back of my mouth

thoughts and a mind to think about
and always being pestered with a little doubt

rain for the grass to save earth from a drought
all cycles and seasons that while pushing my mood about
shape it


all comments from mum and dad
believing in it
whether or not I can take it
then

all the things people say as I take it in
think a little quiet

a myth of a mouth and a cult of personality
for which I would lose all reality

fantasy and a mood of faith though I have none

and always am I thankful for  compassion of which I have some

all the beautiful boys
all the gorgeous girls

optimism and pessimism
the socks in my drawer

all the feelings I have  of which I will shout
at the top of my lungs
and people making lists
of things of which they are grateful
those are the ones
who make an impact
so though they have personalities
that maybe seem hateful
they too have their lists
and for that
I am grateful
