there is no quenching
the thirst
of never having
i’m huge i’m invisible
i’m laughing i’m crying
inside….and out
dealing in truth
no more passive aggression
skidding into
home plate
dirt on my face
scraped up elbow
beautiful badges
of un-blindered sight
ebbing back & forth
in needless attack
outnumbered in society’s
droning on of victimhood
