House of God

" I was thinking about the house of God. 

I was thinking about that. " 

- D Hirst. 

idea for poem

I come back to these everyday all my life.

Nothing has changed.

I want to spend the summer like I spend with my friends swimming.

I want to ride bikes and keep riding

I want to be belonged like I belonged to my friends when we constructed a house under the table and lived in bliss. How exciting it was!!!

Climb a tree and bite into a fresh green guava

I'm still climbing trees and constructing houses 

still longing for swimming

still riding bikes in my head 

--

I want to lay in bed and read all summer

in a tarpaulin house under a table tent

wake and up a swim every morning 

-

All the life, these are things I'm doing, over and over again, everyday 

Robbing the customer

Taking the money and robbing the customer 

Human

You just have to give them room to be human…
