Thoughts 2022-03-18: Why We Scream

Why We Scream!

We scream,

We screen,

We flirt with the obscene.

We yell,

We dwell,

We frolic while in hell.

We holler,

In squalor,

We strain for every dollar.

While I scream in a dream

And I am finally feeling seen,

Then I smile and I laugh,

At the level of my craft

Here I am, visible,

Here I am a criminal.

We cry,

We try,

And in the end we die.

We mourn,

We are born,

And into this world we're torn.

We quiver,

We shiver,

In the flow of the mighty river.

Then I scream in a dream

That I cannot be seen,

And I smile and I laugh,

At the poet's greatest gaffe

Here I am, my internals,

Here I am, now Eternal!
