Good People

good people
(poem / 2007)


don't ever wait around for good people to show up
         because good people have good lives
                 and they're out living them
                        yeah, they'll help
                              but you
                                have
                                  to
                                 ask
                               or they
                             will never
                          know that you
                      are in pain because
                    in a shocking world the
                happiest people are the blind
              so don't expect them to see you
          the hourglass will tick tick tick tick tick
                                                   and
                                                        perhaps
                                                                    leak
