nothing feels mine

 here not even

 the     sunset    you so gracious-

ly gifted   all my

 minutes are yours

                                     this blue chair where I

 spend  days where I read  where I write

   you put it there and You move it

 you drag it around e-

very day as you

 see fit and I just

 continue to

 sit in it I

 just continue to feel this

 way forever feel this way

 into fore-

ver and it does not

 fade away the lack of roads out-

side my door the lack of money

 the absence of ways to

 get   away            and

 yes there are days when

 our mouths seed   days

 when I wake  and

 forget     forget to recall

 this feeling forget to sit

 in the blue chair

forget

to be
