I said yesI said yesI said yes

I prayed a thousand times yes.

And the no that was hanging over the buildings

Faded like the moon at dawn.



When I was young I thought I was facing

A very aware world ahead

I didn't know it was going to be

"beware of dogs" instead.



I said noI said noI said no

I said no a million times to no.

But the yes that was in it's last breath

Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.



When I was young I didn't know

That one can only read life in braille

I was still struggling to catch life on it's tail.



I said whyI said whyI said why

I asked why for the billionth time.

And my bone slowly lost it's moist

Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.



Yesthis dry whiteness of a thing on the square

That's my bone.

It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud

Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.



I said yesI said yesI said yes

I prayed a thousand times yes.

And the no that was hanging over faded.
