you are getting some reruns from the past b/c that part of this blog no longer exists online, and it had some good stuff in it [although some of it was crap], and plus i am not feeling very writerly right now.

-------------------------
i have a place inside
a place to hide
inside
it's kind of dark
and cold and bare
reminds me not to try to care
don't go out reach out be outside
don't play don't swing don't climb don't slide
stay in here while they're out there
sit or stand and stare out there
but stay don't go
because i know
the place inside's
the place to hide's
the safest place to go
outside are games and toys and fun
outside they play and laugh and run
outside are potholes, shards of glass
snakes are writhing in the grass
they don't know anything about it
they are safe and never doubt it
they have no eyes, they cannot see
there's danger everywhere for me
that's why i have this place inside
where i am safe, where i can hide
