There was a man on Cops last night;
sobbing like someone had just pinched his heart
with all the force of gravity~
and I thought to myself, I've been there
god have I been there;
where pain so severe
took all my insecurities,
and gave them a voice
I'd rather not recognize
I'm not sure whether he got busted for meth
or some other elusive crime;
but his sniveling is certainly poignant,
an articulate language
unfound in poem~
(perhaps a friend whispered obscenities
behind his back;
and maybe, he's in jail
plotting some callous revenge
on himself)
