Kaluyuti (Clouds Passing Over)
ROOM TO BE FRIENDS
I have met you today
as I have met any stranger.
I will make judgement on you
as I do all the people I meet.
then I will spend time with you and
my judgement may or may not change.
I could fall in love with a obsession
from a weakness of emotion
or I could despise you for the same reason
This is a repetitive routine I go through,
each week just as the sun rises each day.
Each week I watch you display your talent
in a way that scares most conservatives.
I also watch your audience and a flame of
hatred builds in me like a match
dropped into gasoline.
Their faces are blank as if they were dead.
you have only one thing they want and desire
I see them talk to you with expectations
they try to hide like scars of guiltiness
some are smooth and experienced
while others are tacky and clumsy
I watch you mask of smiles and wonder how
long the rubber can hold out before melting
into an angered frown
you are an actress on the stage of lust
listening to lies of love
you live a hard and fast life which teaches
you to be cold and even appear emtionless
to me you are a drifter making the best of each stop
days go by as trees grow taller and grass
gets longer, but as our lives go on and people live and die, i only hope that there is
room for us to be friends.
