JENNIFER VELASCO
No one matters, nothing rhymes
Block the noise, my dear one,
But don’t leave out the dimes
Find a path, close your eyes, run.
There is solace in disarray
But only you will remember
Unspoken, it must stay
A vision lost forever.
Should you find yourself lost and dazed,
And you can’t tell foes from friends
Be afraid but be unfazed
Time’s strangled in your hands
Someday the blanks will be filled
The knives, blunt, and their mouths, sealed
Block the noise, my dear one,
But don’t leave out the dimes
Find a path, close your eyes, run.
There is solace in disarray
But only you will remember
Unspoken, it must stay
A vision lost forever.
Should you find yourself lost and dazed,
And you can’t tell foes from friends
Be afraid but be unfazed
Time’s strangled in your hands
Someday the blanks will be filled
The knives, blunt, and their mouths, sealed
