i am a two faced man
the hand built home down dirt road lost
and the color can in hand down alleys angeles los
the drive or canopied walk to Talk with no phone
but the nervous quake at being alone
the challenge to throw the keyboard and paper green
but wait in line for the five second new touch screen
the heaven is home and mystery hold for purity's promise
yet hunger in shadows for immediate fill and long doubting thomas.
the books that I read and verse that I pen
is for my own joy or the eyes of men.
I am a two faced man.
And the one informs the other
and tempers the shrill sounds of a
commitment neither is willing to make.
and each longs to be free of the other
or to be overcome.
