      Two Poems

      Nov 1, 2019

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

    be who you are.

    sometimes lines and boundaries

    can become blurred.

    nature replicated synthetically.

    I desire to stay true to myself,

    even in the mist of emotion.

    you cannot lie to yourself more

    than when you refuse

    to become yourself,

    to be who you are.

    no one is the same.
