Ell Pond MAG
The air is bitter,
Like betrayal.
And here I sit,
Ready to be hurt
By the world
Because my eyes are not brown enough,
I don't have con-NEC-shuns,
I'm not on a first name basis with
Dan Rather,
Instead of a washboard stomach,
I have Silly Putty,
I'm not a twenty-one-year-old
PLAYWRIGHT.
And you are
The only one
Who can make me
Happy
And you are
The only one
Who can make me
Hurt.
But now that I know
pain,
Will I ever be hurt
again?
I am lying on my back,
Beached whale,
Tears in my eyes,
Begging the sky,
Please don't do this to me
Please don't do this to me
Please don't do.
I wonder,
Here on the bank
of Ell Pond,
If I go in,
Will it be a new womb?
Maybe I won't want
To come back,
Maybe I'll find
The lost continent of
Atlantis
And I'll never return.
"They call it
Ell Pond
Because it's shaped
Like an
L."
I wonder -
Does the "L"
Stand for
"Love?"
