Parallel tasks,
Like parallel lines,
Never touch –
Unless they are one.
And though many forget,
By chance or by choice,
Their direction
Includes more than one.

Parallel Tasks
A Generation
I have little money.
I barely get by.
I work multiple jobs.
I have little free time.
I do not feel strong.
I’m emotionally spent.
How can I right wrongs
When I can’t pay the rent?
Remember
Remember the vicious murder
That was allowed for your soul’s sake.
Celebrate it every year
With eggs, bunnies, baskets, and cake.
Part Love
Part love – an emotional
Rampart that shields and strengthens with an
Open mind to prevent personally harming.
Training and teaching to prepare and
Electing to take damage or to damage for. Never
Control or insult bereft of truth
That both claim to be but harm.
Without It
Without it,
The engine starts.
The train travels.
The plane flies.
Without it,
The doors revolve.
The buildings stand.
The elevators rise.
Without it,
The chair supports.
The washer washes.
The drier dries.
If they all can succeed
Without self-belief, then,
Why the hell can’t I?
