Pain's Child

             
rape my pain              
because it doesn't ache enough              
             
it's brand new              
born from the fears of today              
             
wild eyed it watches              
frightened              
as an inoculation of anxiety              
is given              
             
injected into its blood              
it starts to scream              
for release              
       
but here,    
tears are street walkers              
you have to pay for their time              
             
soon it's straight jacketed              
for being a harm to its self              
& others              
             
shot up with anti-psychotics              
it starts to drool              
he babbles to depression              
but it just doesn't give a damn              
             
it's jaded              
& has heard it all before              
so it slams the door in pain's face              
             
pain aches for a companion              
in this no man's land              
then it comes across a child              
       
it asks her name              
             
she says        
       
"Brenda"              
             
she shares her tears              
with the new pain              
weeping with it              
& giving him a name              
             
she says lovingly              
             
"i will call you denial"
