watching a game
where people are cheering
but both teams are cheating

#freeverse

not sure what this is
but it's not prose

and calling it poetry
would be a stretch

neither my life
nor my nature

fits in
those binaries

#freeverse

back in the day
it was in batches of ten
don't know why
I chose that arbitrary number

#freeverse

the book of Genesis tells us
that God cares about collateral damage

#freeverse

what I have been programmed
what I have deprogrammed

#freeverse

ink and sepia
"powerful tools for the uninitiated"

#freeverse

there's no last will
and testament
ya'll have gotta figure out
how much you love each other

#freeverse

some things
we don't realise
that we've had
for a lifetime
others
we attain
after what seems
an eternity

#freeverse

this may not seem worth it
to you
but
I know
how long I have waited

#freeverse
