Poem of the Day: 3 Jun 2005

Toxic gases seep through cracks

Toxic gases seep through cracks in the wall, but Carbon Monoxide isthe least of my worries.Love and Hate have stronger smells and a deadlier scent.But I don’t have a Love or Hate detector.Neither of them can be blown awayby the wind,nor can they gettangled with the mist and fog.You cannot move awayfrom Love or Hate,for you contain them andthey contain you.They sometimes drive you onto do something you wouldn’t(couldn’t)be able if you hadn’tinhaled so much.

Asher T. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#253)
