tell me
August 1, 2006tell me a story
said the little girl
an innocent smile
radiating her joy
tell me a poem
said the young lad
ink stains on his fingers
denying his gods
tell me a prayer
said the old man
the lines on his forehead
as deep as his beliefs
tell me a secret
said the seductress
the twinkle in her eyes
as bright as venus
tell me a joke
said the shitfaced drunkard
the grin on his face
revealing all life’s answers
