Poem for Everyone
'Poem for Everyone' ~ By John T. Wood (1974) I will present you parts of myself slowly if you are patient and tender. I will open drawers that mostly stay closed and bring out places and people and things sounds and smells, loves and frustrations, hopes and sadnesses, bits and pieces of three decades of life that have been grabbed off in chunks and found lying in my hands. they have eaten their way into my memory, carved their way into my heart. altogether - you or i will never see them - they are me. if you regard them lightly, deny that they are important or worse, judge them i will quietly, slowly, begin to wrap them up, in small pieces of velvet, like worn silver and gold jewelry, tuck them away in a small wooden chest of drawers and close.
The uncategor|zed, unknown personal|t|es... prefer emot|onal dec|s|on more than mental dec|s|ons..
| am not |mpressed. | don't pretend to have any answers. | m |n love w|th the |dea of be|ng |n love.|'m unreal, unexpected, unpred|cted, d|rect|onless, unfocused, unsp|r|tual...| love to have a good t|me, have good conversat|ons..| am ch|ll, blur, stubborn at t|mes, but | am here for my fam|ly and fr|ends or anyone else |f they need me. l|fe |s a lot of work,| m just out there l|v|ng |t. !!!
