Last Times

It's the last day of July,
(Harry Potter's Birthday!)
and the last day before
School orientation.

It's my last time.

The last first day of public school.

The last school pictures,
The last schedule.
Unless I change it,
Which I will.
I'm so not taking Drama II.
Stress free last semester please!

I had poems,
Written down
And tucked away to type up
And post here.

I lost them of course.

So now I'm just rambling.
Because that's all any of us
Can do.

I'm Completely Mad

If I said
I was making it up
As I went along,
All of it,
Even now,
Would you believe me?

Would you believe
That underneath it all,
I'm completely mad?

I have to be.
I'm a poet.

Gone
For so long.
A wanderin' in the past
The present
The future.
Returned again to the ordinary.
To daily life.

Can there still be joy?
