Learn

Maybe I should forget
close birthdays
someone putting on my socks
sick next to others
empty bottles

Some
Never
Learn

I do not need reminders of
shopping for mothers
whining stories
freckled back
faded sun

Some
Never
Learn

Until it is too late
to lose pieces
of a heart
now in cellophane

Never

I never have to see you again
or check my phone for text
while at work
or have to write
another sad poem
about the sour swell

I never have to be used
by a ex crackhead
for a feel
or a cash deposit
for attention
is all your ever wanted

I never will come back
I never will forget this
I never will alarm
for sinful trysts

Some

Some people fall in love
while I control the weather
sneaky snowy snowflakes
disappear into
furry white whether
weather

Some men fall for love
while they control the seasons
a perchant for
flips, flops, and fails
when their mind's
mine

Some will open the door
when the wind blows
like a whore
though some will sit
knitting their Id
as it screams
for more
