and i see them dirty
rolling, spinning, turning
around in their own filth
y thoughts about things
they do not understand
i say, ‘you are filthy
dirty, spinning, turning
around in your own
stupid thoughts about
things you do not under
stand.’ they say, ‘with me
there is more to this
than you can see
on the surface. i am here
fighting for something real
ly important. really real
ly important. what you see
is the ugliness on the out
side, what is here is
the beauty of the words
and dreams.’ i do not
nod. i walk away.
