Fifteen Senyru Reflecting Forty-Two Years
by Amy Glin
Fifteen Senryu Reflecting Forty-Two Yearsan invitation to join earthbound symphonies the call accepted
tiny knocked up egg i am conceived and growing the journey begins
a new world appears i already want guidance who are these people
give me attention i catapult food at you why did i come here
kindergarten class blocks and crayons and long naps illusion begins
memorize the facts school pap, no contemplation what a way to live
teenage years arrive do not tell me what to do nothing can be done
serious trauma life is so unfair it seems lets try some cocaine
loony bin hello what drugs are you giving me who are these doctors
illusion complete you are the ones who need pills I am not staying
life continues on twenty one years and counting san francisco nightssex, drugs, rock and rolloysters, champagne, more cocainehave you seen my car
illness wakes me upilluminates compassionnow give me some pie
life on this planetway too short or way too longtoo early to tell
this is not fortythis is not even fiftyit is just right now
