Two Words

Two Words
by Keaton Foster



These hands
This man
That person
A child
As one
Same difference
Born alive
Raised deprived
Stuck between
I’m here
Nowhere else
Nothing more
Two words
In addition
None less
I’ll guess
I’m wrong
Not right
I might
I’ll fight
Me myself
And I
Making sense
Not much
Almost never
People say
Often exclaim
He’s crazy
Somehow lazy
Boring mantras
Infernal logic
Crying wolf
No truth
These tales
How could
What should
This child
Turned boy
Made man
A scam
No one
Not one
Livable life
Could be
Has been
So bad
Telling words
Spreading ideas
In between
This person
This monster
Does reside
Blatant realities
Exercised dualities
Filling pages
Leaving behind
Feelings expressed
Heavy stones
Sunken depths
No regrets
Much less
Making sense
Simple request
I’ll try
I’ll live
Then die
These words
Eternal flowers
Planted deep
So high
Quite low
Indeed grow
Beyond me
Beyond us
Escapism thus
All truth
Nor lies
Two words
Everything is
Nothing not
A man
A child
A person
Made wild
A creature
Less features
Darkness inside
Blackness outside
Simple words
Complicated weapons
Dueling intentions
Listen here
Quite clear
Apropos really
I’ve known
Clearly understood
Two words
Nothing more
Little less
Live life
Die trying
Wordily weapons
Wisely inflicted…
