I am from nowhere
looking for somewhere.
I found a place
where it don’t matter ‘bout race.
Now resting in peace,
my heart is at ease.
Now, I’m from somewhere,
looking for nowhere.

I am from many places
and many things.
I see not to us, but to way.
Where in the clouds
and down the rain?
From spring, summer,
from summer  to fall.
The seasons change but not to all.
To wind to sea,
to you to all.

Life is like a swimming pool.
When it is full, life is cool.
When it’s dry,
I get out my skateboard
and fill the pool with curves, carves,
and my own blood
because I am a fool.

I am a man with dreams
from a place with locked doors.
Before I die,
the locked doors will open
and these dreams will come true.

When I close my eyes,
I see her smile.
To me, her smile is more beautiful than a sunset.
And, her face,
more beautiful than wild flowers. When I close my eyes,
her eyes sparkle
brighter than the stars.
Every time I dream of her,
I don’t want to wake up.
When I wake, I am alone.
The stars are gone
until I close my eyes
and we are alone together,
when I close my eyes.

My house is my house.
My house is my sister’s house.
My house is my mom’s house.
My house is my gram’s
and gramp’s house.
My house is my auntie’s house.
But, my house is my house.

Kittens
Clawing and scratching,
baby kittens are attacking.
Watch them as they flail,
biting each other’s tail.
Whether it be hissing or kicking,
it all ends with licking.
