LOVE AND HATE POEMS
LOVE
There’s a fire in my belly
burning, burning
I feel a pain so deep
it permeates each cell
deep in my bones
and running in my blood
It’s nameless
faceless
knows no bounds
lays me out when
I least expect it
reminds me
I’M NOT IN CONTROL
Could be love or could be hate
Depends on what the subject is
HATE
I hate lies
injustice, suffering
wasps, hornets and mosquitos
I hate cellophane wrappers you can’t open
quietly in a theater when you’re dying to cough
I hate boogie runners on anybody
supermarkets who don’t put on
enough cashiers at the busiest times
I hate taxes, parking garages that are full
getting to the theater late when
the only seats left are smack dab in the middle
I hate performers who take a 20-minute break
that lasts over an hour
the spinning beach ball when I’m
dying to post something or
waiting to see a cute video or
wanting to see a friend’s latest status
I hate dirty women’s rooms with only one stall
running out of toilet paper for that matter
red lights, people jumping red lights
rules that override common sense
temperatures below 20
being cold
losing one glove
locking myself out
but I love being able to hate
cuz dammnit, I’m good at it!
