In the face of change
I always come back
to love.
For better or worse
A thing I must need.

Commitment is a
4-letter word
Whenever I meet
someone special
Or a residency option
if it is all that bad.

I don’t want you
or the horse
even if
the ride is fun.
I can do better.
Even if you do
Write sonnets.

Patience, like a wall,
Enough built up
To protect Jerusalem
And Tibet
Freedom weighing
Against liberty
We all gots to work.

No one’s watching
Let’s dance.
