J. Matthew Waters Reads
what have I contributed
to the cause keeping the music alive and guarding elephants from poachers I’ve given up aerosol sprays and gasoline marlboro lights store-bought soup and religion how much more do I have to give that constant humming in my ear is that just a warning from my guardian angel or simply a reminder how those widely admired can easily be swept away like a night owl’s prey silently screaming absolution doesn’t exist in the blink of an eye and even if it did no act of contrition could prevent anyone from seeing the light |
