I look at her words thru glass
the way one looks at the Declaration of Independence
And I have two copies
One is a Xerox
that stays in my left shirt pocket
like an invisible protector
The other hangs on my wall
Better than the best Picasso
And when I feel the weight of my scars
I look at her words
The Declaration of Independence
I look
the way one looks at the
other best Picasso
I have
in a left shirt pocket
my two copies
one is better than the Xerox
and when
I look
at her words
at her words thru glass
I feel
the weight of my scars
like an invisible protector
that stays and hangs on my wall
AP says
I left the Picasso on my wall,
Have two Xerox copies and like
Is that my shirt pocket?
A look stays her words
One better than the other
I hangs in at best.
When I feel the weight of my scars
I look at her
The way one looks at
The Declaration of Independence
Thru glass.
Words
An invisible protector.
