Critical Analysis

By Joe Dickinson

 

 

Open!  Open!

The gates!

The shoes!

The      (I don’t even know)

Who are you?

My socks!

                        Help me Rhonda!

No

                        I hate you

            Get away.

 

Lefty is right,

Righty is wrong.

 

This is a continental phenomenon –

            Two people holding hands

            Walking

            Down a tree lined street.

There is nothing more beautiful,

In my mind.

 

Hurting             you

            I hope I’m not.

Sometimes I like to be alone.

Sometimes not.

 

Fitfully, the, dutifully,

            Obeying orders

            Oh – of course!

                        Send me to the pit

                        And watch

                        My body burn.
