Book o' Verse

A mellowing

 • 6 Comments

I was so angry, so spinning with all my anger
I remember at one point saying to a good buddy
that I was going to tell everyone I met
for the next TEN years:
“if you meet someone named [her name here]
please give her a kick for me.”
I figured the word would spread over time, like a belly.
But now that I know where she’s at
all these dozen plus years later,
I no longer feel the need to kick her.
Or to have her kicked.
