Wait till you see the whites of their eyes

Will i be a better man than my father
who cheated on my mother 8 times
sending letters
leaving women in Florida crying
where his motorcycle was parked
and the grass had died
visit me and my brother
once a month in
VW's
Chevrolet's
throw some money at us

will i have as much love as my mother
resilient
lived in barns as a kid
enduring her insane mother who
chopped at herself with knives
she still remembers dads social security number
would take him back to this very day
it's been almost 25 years

will thoughts of suicide race across my mind like my brothers
demons scratch at his window each night
i hope he has the strength to fend them off
at least for his children's sake if not for his

will my to do lists drown me down in the dirt

Lust

Gluttony

Greed

Violence

will my Lover think better of me
or help me pick up the broken pieces of myself off the floor

life is not for the faint at heart

live like a Leopard
       opportunistic hunting behavior
                adapt to habitats

fragmentation
we're all on the endangered species list
