gray hairs/malcom x

gray hairs new.

dirty underwear used

to use drugs

now they use 

you

are still beautiful

beneath it 

all

will one day fall

like leaves 

from a wishing tree

like rome fell to her knees

so breathe, just breathe- love

everything, take it easy

cause it comes rough 

in groups of three

multiplied by two

is still six six six

and thirteen will be

the death of you

is the beginning of me;

no need to need

no need to worry about inevitability-

it’s just a given, a known quantity 

that we simply have to trust

and believe 

there are better ways to spend time

than to grieve; there are more ways

than one to spend all of this money

is making me green

and lonely 

like spielberg’s alien, like e.t. 

in a foreign galaxy 

in a different reality 

is where we 

will meet 

in the middle like malcolm 

x

marks the spot

will always be hot

so start digging 

through my heart

you always do the worst

job 

best
