ADVICE TO SPINOZA
Never trust anybody who
hasn’t done time
And don’t even think about
trusting a cop
Cops drink like fish
Never walk the streets in
New York or LA or Amsterdam or Taos
Loaded down with stuff in
both hands
You need to be able to
throw a punch at the drop of a hat
Return all hearts to their
rightful owners
They were never yours to
keep
Hearts are just loaners
Remember the lotus flower
is born out of mud
Remember the moon is a
stone of constant beauty, in constant orbit, out of heart’s reach
Remember the tigerfish
never once backed down from a fight
Remember all hearts are
loners
I love your gritty edgey poem. This is my kind of poetry. You are my kind of people.
