Where to Now?


Let’s force the sinners into Heaven,
for happiness is overrated.

                                *

Fill every day with dumb distractions
which ride the falling waves of pointless.

                                *

No memory could match those losses
found in my unknown father’s grave.

                                *

Your table laid with food I could not eat:
I ended up both starved and poisoned.

                                *

Reality viewed upside-down was
no less confusing than my latest poem.
