Uh huh. [poem]uncle sam's finest cocoa (coke) . With hot cocoa My green halloween mug Chipped at the edges Like so many of us I do not salute Uncle Sam screaming From upon my wall Was it not so long ago I was dreaming Of a soldier coming home? She said to me, As I smoked my cigarette, "They knocked his eye out" I never would have thought He could be so emaciated Violence lended itself to cocaine So the evidence accused Where has my purity gone That was so sacred in his heart Where has his mind left him at A state so pulled apart Chipped at the edges? Why do I write a poem About this solder On drinking cocoa and smoking cigarettes and is he always here. here. here. with me? Ready to rise out of the recesses Bearing pieces of a younger girl And showing signs of a broken man Michael. Wherever you are. Chipped away at the edges. Can you still feel? And if I could love you like fourteen Could you be healed? and I hope again to live this life, to see you once more before I diedMood: calm Music: Snow-emiliana torrini
