bounce a ball 
Posted: 3/22/2006 8:12:36 PM 

there is so often in my empty life that I find my mind going back
back to a time when strife was only when recess might end before the game
name a friend and then you find thoughts entering other worlds
girls or boys or men doesn't really matter when you are alone now
how you come to think of that was only in some undigested fat ideas
the wall when without windows makes me bounce imaginary balls without predjudice
inventing reasons to believe can only make it bouce higher, faster, then into my glove
above all else she never really could understand being a man
can a boy leave his toys willingly for anything other than mom's home cooking
looking at the threats make bed seem desirable for a moment 
then the challenge is met with the next toss of the ball
just to watch it once again bounce off the wall in my mind
