"Untitled XI" 40th Cathy poem

Lonely laughing angels cry,
And as they weep I breathe a sigh
I do not want to wonder why
We lose the game tonight

Reckless running fools don't care
They scream and dance and tear their hair
I do not wish to really care
Why love is always out of sight

Reeling round, fall to the ground
My fists up to my brain I pound
And in my mind I hear a sound
No one to calm me in my plight

Heaven claim me
Hell please maim me
Love please show me
		where I am
God I pray thee
Someone save me
Sometimes I just don't
		give a damn

Peerless pretty girls run wild
With innocence as in a child
They do intice, yet I am mild
I do not wish a fight

Wishing waiting all the time
Composing rhyme to follow rhyme
Wish you'd realize the man I am
And know that I am right.
1978
