There is one time in our life
so joyous that we never
want to forget it.
and there are many times of one
so sorrowful that we'd rather not
ever remember them at all.
One Lurks between
the L's of Lonely
In the two hells of loneliness
before versus after
dissolving when two
become one
sharing sweet rhymes
through a couplet of flesh
One sleeps in an alley
in cardboard boxes
begging for a single
act of kindness
during their waking hours
till they sleep
in the crematorium
of a cardboard coffin
and lie buried
within a single grave
dug for one'
meant for only one
unmarked, unknown.
One single spermazota
breaks throiugh
the membranes
of a fertilized egg
one chance out of millions
life is formed
joined by a cord
to another till
it is severed
and they become
one again.
Screaming their way
from the womb to the world
Is it prophetic that we
must start as one
and always end as one
Life is full of ones
so many damned ones
they sit at bars
sipping black Velvet
to cover thier eyes
in hazes of apathy
they go home alone
one staggered step
at a time
to dream of what
once was two
yet still they
wake alone
as one
be kind to
every "one" you meet
someday you might
share their fate
of knowing no One
to commiserate with.
of knowing to
commiserate with
one is a very
sad state of mind
and a very tragic
state of being
simply by being
just one
Just one
Just one.
