A Little Something I Wrote in Reno, NevadaA Poem by Andrew N. FarrensA poem I rote visiting an ex-girlfriend in Reno. It was also the last time I ever saw my father alive......Well now, what can I say? Decisions made by fate Nothing more can be taken away The morning light breaks through the
window pane I sit here, in Alien territory, not
quite sane I’m not killing you because death
would be the same As giving you happiness and I’m not
that lame (She said into the phone) Smacking her lips against chocolate Planning against the game That no matter how you play is never
finished My ex-girlfriend dates only
ex-convicts At least in style is how she lives
it Or so they think and tweak and think Constantly my love for her is there And then gone in the next blink Of an eye only to reappear As I gamble and ask for a second
drink No other reason to be at a casino, I
don’t win So I waste away the time, watching
others sin An inner voice in my head asks, Do you not do the same, my friend? I tell the voice to shut up And thus does the fight begin These types of things you do not win Nor Will this battle in you’re head end But who am I, to say such things and
moralize about some other life Or even mine About which I write All the damn time Keeping in sight The knowledge of the demons That lives in my head If it wasn’t for this pain, I would think I was dead I am not here to complain I’m just in Alien Territory, Really Not Quite Sane .A.N.F.
