[ Do You Know Who Is Stabbing Who ]
[ While They Are Shaking Hands With Whom? ]
[ Will It Really Bother You? ]
[ To Know Who Just Left The Room? ]

[ When He Left, He Just Walked On By ]
[ He Neither Said (HI) ]
[ Or (GOODBYE) ]

[ Why Was That, You Wonder Out Loud? ]
[ It Is Not Like You Were In The Middle Of A Crowd ]

[ Then You Could See ]
[ How He Would Not Want To Be Seen ]

[ After What He Just Did To Someone You Consider A Friend ]
[ & Then He Asked You ]
[ (WHERE DOES THIS END?) ]

[ You Wonder Why ]
[ Did He Lie? ]

[ What Did He Have To Gain? ]
[ Why Was He Acting So Vain? ]
[ When He Was Inflicting Pain? ]

[ Why Did He Seem So Pleased? ]
[ When He Was Pulling Up Weeds? ]

[ He Did Not Have The Willpower ]
[ To Learn The Differences ]
[ Between One Flower ]
[ & Another On The Other Side Of The Two Fences ]

[ Will You Ever Trust ]
[ Him Ever Again? ]
[ Though It’s Not A Must ]

[ Will You Constantly Look @ Your Phone, Hoping For A Call? ]
[ When It Does Not Ring ]
[ Do You Just Continue To Stare @ The Living Room Wall ]

[ You Don’t Know Why They Call It The (LIVING ROOM) ]
[ There Is Nothing Living There Most Of The Day ]
[ Not Even The Broom ]

[ Well Actually The Broom Had More Life ]
[ When You Were Able To Share Everything With Your Wife ]

[ (1) Morning You Were Hugging & Kissing ]
[ When She Did Not Come Home After Work ]
[ She Went Missing ]

[ The Police Do Not Have A Single Clue ]
[ Neither Do You ]

[ You Wait By The Phone ]
[ You Take It Everywhere That You Go ]
[ All You Hear Is That Annoying Dial Tone ]
[ But You Never Know ]

[ You Talked To Her During Her Lunch ]
[ Could You Feel That Something Was Wrong Because You
Did Not Eat Very Much? ]

[ Is This Allergy Season? ]

[ Was She Under Alot Of Unusual Stress? ]
[ Is There Anything That You Want To Confess? ]

[ Do You Know How To See The Clue ]
[ To Be The Best Of … You? ]

[ Not The Person Who People Think That You Should ]
[ Because You Don’t Think That You Would ]
[ Even If You Thought That You Could ]

[ Does Anyone ]

[ Who, In Their Own Mind, Is Number One? ]

[ It Would Always Take Alot ]
[ Of Thought ]
[ To Come To Terms With What You’ve Actually Got ]

[ Do Things Become Controversial? ]

[ Is Pure Misery ]

[ As I Sit Here Trying To Pull On My White Socks ]
[ I Here The Tic-Tok ]
[ Of My Wall Clock’s]

[ They Are The Only Sounds That I Can Hear ]
[ & That, Right There]
[ Just Illuminates My Fear ]

[ I Don’t Expect To Hear Another Sound ]
[ Because There Is Not Another Soul Around ]

[ @ This Time ]
[ That I Am Sucking On This Lime ]

[ That, In Itself, Makes My Sucker ]
[ Pucker ]

[ Would This Have The Same Affect On You? ]
[ If Not ]
[ What Would It Do? ]
[ If So ]
[ Would You Even Have The Remotest Clue? ]

[ Would It Burn All Of The Way Down? ]
[ Would It Burn The Whole Time That You, Would Be In Town? ]
[ Would Those Answers Force Me To Use A Different Noun ]

[ Or Two ]
[ Hmmm, Am I Picking Up On A Totally Obscure Social Cue? ]

[ I Don’t Know About This ]
[ Let Me Look On My List ]

[ Should I Care ]
[ If It Is Not There? ]

[ Well That Makes Me Feel Like I Need To Go ]
[ So, If You Say So ]

(300)▪︎[ Who Are They … 4•10•2021 ]

[ Do You Ever Really Know That One Person That You
     Love? ]
[ That One Person That You Are Always Thinking Of? ]

[ During Those Nights Where You Are Laying There Dreaming ]
[ Is He In The Next Room Scheming? ]

[ You Might Have Thoughts That Are Happy & Kind ]
[ But He Is Taking Several Medications To Try To Alter
     His Evil Mind ]

[ You Really Do Not Know Who You’ve Got ]
[ Living With You & Your Kids In Your House ]
[ He Is Trying To Suppress His Homicidal Thoughts ]
[ That He Has About You, His Spouse ]

[ Ever Since He Became Your Groom ]
[ You Felt Uneasy That He Had No Explanation Or Reasons ]
[ On Why He Had To Have A Knife & Gun In Each Room ]

[ Oftentimes You Feel Uneasy When He Is On The Phone &
     There Are Periods Of Uncomfortable Silence ]
[ He Talks Alot About His Past ]
[ When He Was Known To Be Very Violent ]

[ But He Completed His Full Year Of Anger Management
     Classes That Were Court Ordered ]
[ You Think That You Should Hang Onto Those Heated
     Phone Calls With Him, That You Previously Recorded? ]

[ It Would Cause Unneeded Problems ]
[ If He Would Ever Find Them ]

[ He Seemed To Be So Passionate ]
[ When You Two First Met ]

[ Do You Ever Know Him When His Mind Shifts To
     The Dark Side? ]
[ He Says That He Won’t Seek Counseling ]
[ Because He Has, Too Much Pride ]

[ When You Have So Much Doubt ]
[ Do You Ever Worry About ]

[ One Day The Lonely Man Came Back To Show
     His Deepest Scars ]
[ When He Pulled Up His Undershirt T-Top ]
[ They Looked As Big As Small Cars ]

[ Why Would The Lonely Man Lift Up His Shirt? ]
[ & Show His Hurt? ]

[ It Was NOT For The Itty Bitty ]
[ Pity ]
[ That He Could Get From A Stranger In The City ]

[ It Was So Others Could Learn ]
[ That It Doesn’t Take Spicy Food ]
[ To Cause Someone’s Heart To Burn ]

[ Wounds Are Not Always Made In The Physical Sense ]
[ Just Like Someone’s Dirty Look Can Make You Tense ]

[ A Stab Is Not Always Physical ]
[ Jokes Are Not Always Comical ]

[ If You Are Not Always Mindful ]
[ Jokes Can Quickly Turn Hurtful ]

[ You Can Not Joke About Gender, Race Or Being
     Black Or White ]
[ You Can’t Joke About Age Or Weight ]
[ But People Still Joke About Some One’s Height ]

[ Asks The Lonely Man ]
[ You Don’t Try To Go There, There Or There ]
[ But Others Have A Sense Of Entitlement & Think That
     They Can ]

[ Sometimes He Takes The Elder Woman’s Cart ]
[ Back Into Walmart ]

[ Not Because He Was Being Asked ]
[ By The Older Lady With The Smile On Her Mask ]

[ He Never Stands Out In The Crowd ]
[ That Is Not What The Lonely Man Is About ]

[ How Will His Wounds Heal? ]
[ How Do His Wounds Feel? ]

[ Everyone One Has Wounds Of Some Sort ]
[ Some People Have Been Successful In Building Their
     Own Imaginary Emotional Fort ]

[ ( THAT IS QUITE THE WALL THAT YOU’ve BUILT ) ]
[ Is It As High As Your Mountain Of Guilt? ]

[ How About The Many Pages Of Regrets? ]
[ The Lonely Man Has More, He Bets ]

[ Looking Within @ Your Own Feelings Stings ]
[ Self-Doubt & Insecurity Are The Kings ]

[ Nothing Around The Lonely Man Makes Him Feel
     That Bad ]
[ Or That Sad ]
[ Oh Here Is One ( HELLO, DAD! ) ]

[ Sometimes The Lonely Man Could Be Standing On
     The Corner Waiting For The Bus ]
[ Sometimes There Is A Little Bit Of The Lonely Man
     In Each One Of Us ]

[ The Mike Quietly Drops ]
