Confession

Confession

Peter the Pan
cried yesterday
real tears
(not croc's)
because the world
no longer understood with empathy
but expressed repugnance at the waist.

Not growing Up
a time honored state
has fallen into disrepair
has given way to
unkind despair
and paved a way for loneliness.

Good Time Charlie's got the Blues

so he thinks he'll go and cruise
the drive in restaurant
that once was there
and now is not.

It is a child's toy,
wonder,
and they would take it from me

but I wll not let it go

death grip with a child's pudgy fingers

life grip with a child's fertile mind.
