Last Stand

If I could go back in time
I'd leave you where I found you
because although your presence
is worth a thousand words
your present wrapped up in beautiful
brown skin is priceless
in a worthless kind of way
I took you home with me
considered your every dream
your every wish
served you life's good pleasures
on the best of my dishes....
China
your manners were like
prehistoric, non existent
flimsy paper plates

If I could go back in time
I'd leave you where I found you
standing at the edge
I reached out my hands
grabbed and held you close
to me
we took off running
I thought we agreed to never look back
seems as if forward vision was
meant to be seen and not heard
obviously you weren't paying
attention.
