I CAN LIVE

I CAN LIVE

I've outlived
the winter's allergies
and depressing rains
in a human zoo

I can live
my retirement too
without pension and medicare:

the wheelchair doesn't frighten
I can live

uncared and unknown
survive broken home
the numbness in the arms
the pain in the neck
and inflation too

ANGELS FUME

They say my birth was a heavenly event:
here I am suffering third rate villains
that erect walls to stop the chariots
from Merkaba: the angels fume but who cares
heaven is a mirage in human zoo
