TWO SEPARATE POEMS

Live and Let Live

Accept me as I am
Listen and understand
Making no demands
Taking no commands
Nor depicting
Didactic dictating
Of outdated modes
Conduct codes
Thoughts
Taught
In days of old


LISTEN

Have you heard- heard
Random words- words
SPOKEN
SPOken
Spoken...
Echoing the sound- sound
Of the crowd- crowd
Speaking
Louder
LOuder
LOUDer
LOUDER...
Whispered hush breathed
Public bus leaves
Stops.
For the hustle
And bustle
Beyond
The dawn
At daybreak
