J.J. Campbell- Two Poems


mumble to yourself
 
laugh in the
face of fear
 
mumble to
yourself in
a crowded
waiting
room
 
always tell
authority to
fuck off
 
dance naked
in the rain
 
never let
them tell
you
 
crazy isn't
a beautiful
thing

 
you built the myth
 
the helpless
desperation
of being
alone
 
waiting for
a knock on
the door or
the phone
to ring
 
that feeling
in the back
of your mind
that you could
die and no one
would know
for days
 
realizing you
built the myth
better than you
ever imagined
 
40 years on
another 40
to go
 
emptiness
knows no
bounds
