Karmic Rip Cord


by Jerry Ratch


 

For the kid in me who fell

head over heels

all the way down

the stars,

I wonder where you are

now.

 

Slack is harder to

cut than

you might think,

I have learned.  

And assigning the middle finger its true purpose

keeps me pretty busy.

So…

 

If you stepped out with a

high-end mouse,

that's your problem.

I can fuckin' dream like everyone.

I can even dream like you.

 

But I learned after you left

that real love will let you walk on water

to the edge of time.

And I could even dream like you.
