I stood there and gasped
Thinking
I know
That what I hear
See and feel
Is anything but factual
Words targeted solely
at pleasing me
for peace sake
I stared at the mirror
And heard the clatter and wind
The chiming of church bells
And the howling swears
of idle street hawkers
selling veggies and kitchen ware
with their pseudo- lucky charms
And blessed virgins adorning their vans...
But I see no man around
No woman...
I say
I am alone
All is good
All is fine
And the smoky sky
And putrefying air
Is fine
As long as we both
Say so
All is fine.
