self


by dog e relaford



i walked down the street
with shoes on my feet
and a hat on my head
because my brain was dead

a man wth a dog
appeared out of the fog
i saw at a glance
he was wearing striped pants

i recognized him
his name was slim
in a previous life
he ran away with my wife

he passed me by
i looked up at the sky
it was covered with clouds
and i laughed out loud

a man wearing a shirt
looked angry and hurt
at my unwonted frivolity
but i was only being me

whenever i look around
i hear strange sounds
telling me what to do
but to my own self i am true
