All's Fair
all s fair that ends fair i say
never been much of a relativist
in that regard that s one reason
i m so sure this roach thing will
not be my last incarnation i
refuse to believe the cosmos
could be so categorically unfair
to leave me in this roachly
position for good can t be
i with the mind of a hugo
richard that is
and a heart of gold can t be
meant for only this now i
have you to give my voice
ears and you with a voice
that makes me think i have
real ears again ears to hear
the wonders of the world
i once witnessed those
wonders fancy free and never
anchored somebody thought
they could take it all away
from me little did they know
they would allow me to see
the world as it truly is
from the perspective of
vermin the point of view of
those who know the senselessness
of leftovers in the garbage can
for insects to thrive on
and still not enough to keep
kids from dying in india
the world cannot end this way
too much despair too much
self loathing too much
indifference i do honestly
believe my dear savannah that
all s fair that ends fair and
this end is far too unfair for
any of us to stand it will not
end this way not if
the pesky cockroaches
of the world have anything
to say about it
