Good Bad Neither In-between

What if everything that was bad in the world

Suddenly changed to be everything that is good?

The purpose of life would be hopelessly swirled.

Nothing could be anymore understood.

If the guns changed to squirt guns

If the fires turned to smoke.

If people took away all the 

bad things they spoke.

But then nothing would change,

Nothing could be taken.

The far reaches of us would rearrange,

Leaving everything shaken.

Bad is not good,

But it is necessary to hope

To understand what could

Be if there was only good.

Nationalities

When a person comes up to me
And tells me they hate
Those of a different nationality:
For any reason.

It is all
Froth.
Not the good kind that you like:
At the top of a good root beer float.
Instead, the stuff that you have
To dig through to see the good
within the world.

When your fingers get too long

Life is hard, they say;

But I love a challenge.

Life tries to hold me at bay,

And I laugh.

Try, just try to hold me 

Back for a simple second.

Since when was life ever simple?

Wondering from the top of a building

Not about to jump,

But merely admiring the view.

Rivers pass me by

6 days pass me by

A specific thought passes me by -

I'm not sure what it was.

I try to do things for others,

I try to be there for others.

I try to see things for others.

It doesn't work as it should.

Remembering more than I should.

My fingers, encrusted with dirt,

Millions of tons of oxygen, nitrogen,

And all the other gasses in the world

Holding me to the ground.

The hard ground.

Life is hard.

I deal with it

With a friend.

Getting wisdom taken right out of you

"Wisdom teeth do not give you wisdom"
The dentist told me.
and then proceeded to knock me out

I woke up dizzy.
losing sense of direction.

Eating real food was a lost cause.

Yogurt and ice cream
Beginning to lose their flavor

It is the end of the world.

(chubby cheeks due to loss of wisdom teeth)

Wrinkles. (4 syllables)

I wonder what
Would happen if
I took all the
forehead wrinkles
in the world
and lined them up
all together.

Could I count the
Years in inches
or the stress, miles?

Sort of like me
Measuring the
Lack of time in
infinity?
