Letter A
After reading the dictionary for a day, here's my poem
called letter A
I'm an anonymity on the back burner
buried deep down in the trenches of the asylum behind you.
just an accessory you've
grown accustomed not to
acknowledge.
seeking your aboriginal gaze;
only to avert it from my abysmal glance
for I will shower you with acupuncture needles-
laced with amphetamine.
life will be less complicated
without my barbiturate kiss.
If I could go back in time.
find the apathetic amber in you.
allude the activist who's astute eyes drain me.
find you standing alone on the asphalt
up their so high abashed
abstaining from muttering how I feel.
