Another beautiful day to enjoy the sweetness of sunlight.
The beginning of time.
Is it a house?
Or a kolanut?
Is this thing an insect inside the mystery of life?
DANCING WITH WORDS
Do we dance while talking, sometimes?
Usually, we talk with our mouths.
But the eyes are also part of the conversation.
The rainbow is smearing
pigments on my teeth
as if being colored
is a virtue;
All it does is keep the
cops from trusting me
when I cross
the street from innocence
to dark alleys
where they play hide
