all that

all that

A Poem by knightcall

i can't start off a poem with
an idea in my head
i can tell you more in a story in a poem
than an autobiography 
i'm sure that you can understand that
i take the stand that
no one can truly completely know someone else
sometimes we are a mystery 
even to ourselves
you can look into my eyes and see my soul
but what that will tell you Lord i don't know
you can read all my papyrus
it won't tell you that
i hate Miley Cyrus
i've been a hero
more than a few times
i saved a Cook County doctor from
unspeakable crimes
i made a catch in high school that 
labelled me Swann
my entire life
i've only known one guy
my whole life whose name was Juan
i worked for a King
first name Burger
bagged groceries at the A&P
worked for both the Chicago papers daily
i threw them, then sold them, then wrote for them
headed west for the Sun and then the Star
until the internet killed the press room star
so i wrote for the internet for kicks
it was a group of older ladies that
i played bingo with 
they alerted me of a calling
soon there were no deadlines
only lifelines
and one of the things they teach us is to
discover ourselves
and the qualities within
stubborn,romantic,rebellious,intense,humorous,stylish,belligerent,courteous,extroverted,moderate,independent, poetic, sensitive, athletic,ornery,baritone,tall,broad-shouldered, inquisitive, loud, intelligent, questioning, educated, fiery, challenging, charming, dancing and that is not even close to 
all that
