the buffalo returned, but only to make their brief statement . . . .

the poem that I wrote
it was in anger
flushed cheeks
and I was bewildered

yet I have put down the stick
and I don't want to poke
at the decaying buffalo
anymore

for the decaying buffalo
represented the argument

an argument I was never a part of
but was brought into

my name exploited

after we all agreed it was best
avoided



now I will be disappointed if
my name remains

an innocent bystander
exploited for the eye$ that
are not omnicient

but anyway

I'm
for
real

I don't like pointing fingers
and I'm sure we can all move on

pick up different colored balloons
sing a different song

ratstar
jubilee
and glitter

-end of sequence-

and in the end, the love we take is equal to the love we make ... ah the beatles and then you ... let it be... and so we shall... you are outstanding and the lovely part is the extreme power in your voice that ranges from anger to hope and a refreshing feeling for tomorrow ...
