Poem 29: Unnatural

Unnatural

What have I gained
how have I grown
what does it mean
all that I own

what do I get
when I work all day
and for each day off
I must pay

how can I measure
just what life is
I'll never get ahead enough
with all this buis.

everything I see
so unnatural to me
how can I enjoy all this
if I never feel free

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
