Like Always
by Alisa Jsyou speak of her
and I could just spit
thoÂ’ I say nothing
stare straight ahead
just like always
with this stoicism I learned from the best
inwardly
IÂ’m thinking
how dare you!
you bastard!
you havenÂ’t a clue or do you Â…
realizing itÂ’s a crap shoot
IÂ’ve got nothing to lose
no where to go, nothing to do
and we find ourselves amused
like always
we skate around the elephant in the room
nothing new
with something like ice cubes on crocodile sticks Â…

we skate around the elephant in the room
nothing new
with something like ice cubes on crocodile sticks …
Nice imagery on a sad situation!
