Legion

There’s a multitude in man—
A paradox that pokes.
The strife within the soul,
That takes its toll and cloaks.

It murmurs and it yells,
It constantly pursues—
It lessens but it swells,
It hasn’t made a move.

We may hate and hate,
Yet it won’t disappear—
True happiness awaits,
When all of us are here.

All her secrets went deep to the grave.
Her kids didn’t know her.
Her husband was slower.
Whatever she did, so she may’ve.

Crowded Cars

Crowded cars come close.
Enter the busiest one.
Step off the train now.
Go get trained now.
You didn’t even come close.
This is all wrong.
Do it again.
Even though we never taught you.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
You’re the new guy.
You’re the target.
You’re the busiest one.
Yet you’ve missed the train.
Crowded cars leave closed.
