Strange…

…how coffee gets hot enough
to scar a soul…

…how paint on bricks peels and chips
revealing truth…

…how kites flying in the wind
never leave you… 

…how rain pours for many days
cleansing nothing…

…how songs can cut like scalpals
healing little…

…how schools stay open all day
teaching no one…

…how billionarires make money
but don’t get rich…

 …how men and women have sex
and stay strangers…

…how soldiers kill and are killed
but wars don’t stop… 

… how poems sans periods
find ways to end
