Waterfall
I. Infancy
Alone in the dark
My mother making the world
For me to enter
II. Childhood
My bike throws me off
And facing the sky I see
Magical clouds move
III. Adolescence
Journals endure my
Anguished waterfall of rage
The radio moans
IV. Adulthood
Faded plastic chairs
Visiting my son, I cry
The court date is set
V. Senescence
I woke up and now
They want me to defecate
Alone, in the dark
