In This World (Given Grey)

In This World (Given Grey)

A Poem by JT Bateman
"

This means something, idk what though.

"

in this world i have found
that leaves amongst the ground
follow suit in patterned form
and the world creates norms
collected in refrain from others
catching you shoe, you know what to do,
send your angels, bloody-feet
and dancing around yourself.

in this world what you do
around your fee and between your arms
taken safe from harm, placed in worlds
fending for themselves: my babies!
taken from witches and raised by b*****s
sucking on the teat, taste of defeat
and running half-around

in this world take yourself
worst enemies and everyone else
send the world away keep it with health
and take the heath and choke yourself
never drown in air for that is your pleasure
pleasureable words make worlds dribble in thought
and that seems to be what the craze is
keep head in and keep your weight on

in this world i've been given grey.
