TODAY. 2012

Today, you've been in Heaven for a year.
Today, I couldn't control my tears. Again.
Don't lemme make this a habit, Ma.
I get dehydrated and fuck up my workout.
You're at peace, I know.
And I also know you've got them on their feet up there.
Quite the taskmaster you were.
Today, can you play trainer to me??
I can't stop the tears.
Ma. Heaven. Today. 2012.

DEAR FRIEND

On this Friendship Day, be it known that I cherish your friendship,
not any more today than I do every day.
Each day I am, you are special.
And will remain.
Always.
