A Poem by John Sullivan

somewhere

a man

walks

across the room

just
to
bang
his
head
against
the
door

and
lies
there

condemned

naked
and
shivering

on the floor

brick
by
brick

build that staircase

know

our
foolish
pride

us
working
poor

plant the seeds

dance
the
dance

in perfect rhythm

have a creed

bridge the mind's

damning

schism

run
until
the
end

this race

and
always
stay

in place

so
find
a
friend

and
hope
for
grace

blessings come

and

blessings go

at
least
we
found
the
time

morning
comes

the rooster
crows

and

every

thing

is

mine
