"As I love therefore I am if temporarily"


Poem Artwork


amo ergo sum

Well I walked up to the nearaway faded red store
Today because the faraway was too far for me
For big Zig-Zag papers and was able to get more
Thanks to my son Teddy and his generosity
On a Sunday in the dog days a beautiful day
And the marijuana man is on his way

Always before forever I never would have been
Now wondering if blundering I rise as I fall
Let down I get up again within the now and then
I wonder when I ever get anywhere at all
Once you know you have to go but I went anyway
Not knowing so not having to on Sunday

I would always be as I have never been before
As I love therefore I am if temporarily
Where the nearaway faded red store then would have more
When nearaway is far enough away there to be
Amo ergo sum with or without relationships
With an open heart and a smile on my lips
