I
sweep
my
floor
in
resistance
I
fold
the
laundry
in
resistance

and
to
the
goblin
king
says
sarah
you
have
no
power
over
me

I
was
unusually
happy
disconcerting
I
felt
like
the
earth

she
petted
my
cat
a
way
I
never
had
before
and
my
cat
liked
it

I
wished
I
was
the
only
person
in
a
city
full
of
houses

sometimes
the
streetlamp
is
the
moon
and
the
moon
is
the
streetlamp
sometimes

I
see
those
tears
in
your
beer
would
your
misery
like
some
company

in
times
like
these
I
stop
and
ask
myself
what
would
gloria
steinum
do

I
kept
looking
up
to
see
if
his
eyes
were
on
me
and
at
times
they
were

I
am
the
red
balloon
she
said
you're
the
old
lady
whispering
hush

he
can't
take
our
power
from
us
unless
we
relinquish
it
and
we
won't

I'll
wrap
my
ghost
arms
around
you
haunt
you
always
my
daughter
said
thank
you

the
tree
obscured
the
burger
king
sign
and
it
looked
like
a
crescent
moon

he
also
said
peace
is
a
means
imagine
an
end
with
means
like
that

these
old
ghosts
and
their
talking
how
am
I
supposed
to
get
any
sleep

we
were
trapped
in
our
snow
cave
for
days
on
days
until
the
sun
its
rays

she's
strategic
she
thinks
before
she
acts
I
could
learn
a
thing
or
two

I
have
decided
to
stick
with
love
hate
is
too
great
a
burden
to
bear

-martin luther king, jr

I
forgot
her
birthday
which
was
unlike
me
and
probably
said
something

he
woke
in
the
night
kissed
the
middle
of
her
back
and
lay
back
to
sleep

I
love
you
I
said
more
than
the
moon
is
full
more
than
the
sun
is
hot

she
was
so
much
more
than
just
a
pretty
face
and
a
really
great
laugh

oh
blue
moon
now
you're
no
longer
alone
without
a
dream
in
your
heart

all
night
the
snow
kept
me
awake
its
bright
white
silence
whispering
hush

she
felt
the
snow
was
her
god's
way
of
saying
slow
ride
take
it
easy

he
held
me
like
I'd
wanted
like
he
hadn't
known
me
until
just
then

oh
baby
it's
a
wild
world
it's
hard
to
get
by
just
upon
a
smile

-cat stevens

she
told
me
I
smelled
like
flowers
I
told
her
she
smelled
like
marshmallows

in
my
dreams
he
drives
a
muscle
car
I'm
his
girl
from
impanema

the
truth
is
darling
I
smoked
a
fat
doob
and
watched
my
soap
opera

black
coffee
and
smoke
gets
in
your
eyes
then
one
thing
leads
to
another

when
I
said
those
truths
I
said
in
passion
and
emotional
as
I
was

I
was
nervous
he
put
on
the
musical
salve
he
knew
would
soothe
me

I
wrote
drunk
poems
that
I
slept
on
then
dreamt
them
practically
to
death
