SLEEPING WITH YOURSELF

SLEEPING WITH YOURSELF

If you think you have no power
try sleeping with a Kennedy

You may find some, but most likely
they will end up with more

If you want to touch vulnerable
try sleeping with a Marilyn

You may find some, but most likely
you will just pile more dirt on her grave

If you can’t find your inner poet
or the painter unafraid to use red

You can always find one willing
to help you find it in their bed

And there may be value in this trail
however tangled dark and faint

For you can sometimes find out where
something is just by finding where it ain’t
