Truths

Ask a famished kid
in any deprived ghetto
deep within
the bowels of the world

and he will say
starvation
was not his choice
poverty
was not an alternative.

But the devil
says
the choice
was yours.

Change motivates,
motivations change
change responds,
responses change.

The power to choose
is still yours.
Ask a famished kid
in any deprived ghetto.

The Contagion

THE CONTAGION

How long will you yawn?
As long as I long.
How long will you long?
As long as I am.

How long are you?
The mean of my shadow.
How mean is your shadow?
It depends on the light.

How light is light?
Light has some matter.
How does it matter?
Like the matter in space.

How much is the space?
A few feet, not more.
How many feet?
As many as the runners.

How do they run?
They run with the current.
How are they current?
They read all the news.

How, if the news ends?
They just start to yawn.
How long will they yawn?
As long as they long!
