richard poor Biography

in me the maddness of the universe
how do i begin to control
the big bang happens everyday
rippling upon my soul,
...

i grew up in a nervous world
where everyday could be the last
so i lived each day as that
yesterday was only the past,
...

i grew up with the promises
sweet, golden, yet never fulfilled
i worked the meaneal jobs for livin wages, only there wasnt much to live on, merely exist
from sad ghetto windows
...

a few days away
anticipation
the road is calling
i want to follow
...

does the white whale call to you
as it does to myself
silent at first but true
till in your soul it's wealth,
...
