I heard someone say
she didn't matter
because she was......
ugly
and I thought...
Is it OK to eat chicken
if you are
a vegetarian?
you see
I always thought that
just because I was from
this side
of Shreveport
and
you the other
we were both
still
living this thing called life
and
holding her close
or
standing an arms length
away
the smile she gave me
radiated like a new sunrise
paradise
I guess they couldn't see
with their preprogrammed eyes
I guess they were just too chicken
to actually look
