    Ciao' Babe

    What makes you run? Am I too needy?
    Too vulnerable? Too Weak?
    Do you know me at all?
    Do you care?
    What makes you call? Just to say "hi"? "Checkin in"?
    Are you drawn to me? A curiosity?
    Freak of nature? Car wreck?
    You creep by with hands over your face ~ peeking through ~
    Can't look away ~ yet, too frightening to face.
    I want to understand ~
    Need to. I want to see the world through
    Your partially open eyes.
    Is this the sanitary route? Half the view ~ half the pain?
    Hands clean. Safe?
    Do you fear me?
    Am I a risk?
    Do I challenge your balance?
    Am I too capable?
    One brick........
    The wall could crumble.
    Did I chip away too much?
    Did I disturb the
    Foundation?


    Ciao' Babe II~The Sequel

    Do I? Am I?
    Me, me, me
    ME!
    I, (meaning ~ me), just
    Realized
    It's YOU.
    Always was....so
    Ciao' Babe

    Good poem -really comes at you-it's like hearing nina simone.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
