It’s Been Said Before
BY: H. M. Zike
Am I crazy?
It’s been said before.
Is it so crazy?
To hope that you care.
Am I naïve?
I’ve been told as much so often.
Is it Naïve?
To think that you were truly honest.
Am I oblivious?
I have been so before in my life.
Was I oblivious?
To you using me.
Am I a fool?
I’ve played the part more than once.
Am I a fool?
To pray that you’ll come back to me.
Am I an idiot?
I’ve been called so before.
Am I an idiot?
To hope that your thinking of me.
Am I insane?
Something that I’ve feared all my life.
Is it insane of me?
To hope that you might just love me.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
