Apr. 29, 2005 2 PLACES AT ONE TIME Sitting here With him, Thinking about you- Wondering if you’re somewhere Thinking about me, Thinking about us, Wondering what went wrong- Wondering why No matter how hard I try I can’t pretend He makes me feel Like you used to 2004 The year I discovered Keanu Reeves Special K The joys of unemployment And self-preservation When I learned That everybody in your family Ain’t necessarily in your corner And that a green thumb Can be cultivated By a late bloomer Was seduced By the soulful sounds Of Norah Jones The corner café And the pleasure of my own company Said goodbye To Frazier And Friends And Oprah made fifty The country was on the periphery of war And my ex made a comeback And I discovered that God will sometimes shake you up To move you forward And poetry can be A saving grace POETS Most of us Would rather be loners Than leaders. Trade corporate security For Pseudo celebrity And get by By holding 5 jobs Just to pay the rent. Believe that our prose Like prozac Can cure depressive states And that our voice must be heard At any cost. We count bills Rather than sheep Store visual images and text In our sleep. Challenge the status quo And expose the truth. We dare to be different, Dance to our own tune While soulfully Serenading life. ------------ About the author: Jennifer Brown Banks is an award-winning poet and popular feature writer.
