poem 53


by dog e relaford



everybody hates me
i have no friends
this is how
the universe ends

people are bad
they should be good
this has always
been understood

and yet they keep on
being bad
i think it is really
really so sad

they go to parties
and drink champagne
and laugh at
misery and pain

how i wonder
did it all begin
the wind is howling
may i come in?

can i tell my tale?
will you promise not to laugh?
i want the whole world
but will settle for half
