Even Losers

The battles fought
with words or guns
are all for naught
if everyone’s
on the wrong side
behind their pride
so all must fall

One of Nothing

Part of the group
- if they had room
Out on the stoop
learning to loom
Oh I don’t pout
since they miss out
on wondrous fun

I never thought
-it’s a bummer-
knowing it’s not
the same drummer
I’m marching to
as all of you,
because who does?
