< all i can give you >
ray heinrich
The rats of a good purpose,
run away.I enter this in the
logbook, and i know you will
be checking on me. But i know
a lot.More than you think.
Maybe enough.I enter this in
the logbook too.And then, i
give up, and change the logbook
into this poem.Knowing you
will check it too.And here
you are, reading this.So see,
i was right.Now maybe i asked
you to read this; and maybe i
didn't.Maybe, i want to invite
you in.Here, have this food
and drink made into words.
You see, no matter how much i
might love you, all i can give
you are these words.
