Understanding Me

 

Understanding me

in all of my complexity:

some good, some bad,

a tilt towards sad

they call “melancholy”.

I Will Haunt Your Attic for Free

 

I will haunt your attic for free.  

It will be really cool, you’ll see:

a fluttering sense of static,

nothing excessive or erratic.

The backstory or cause of death

won’t be particularly gruesome.

Just a guy who died (like everyone else)

you win some and lose some.

Needing a place to stay 

after storing my body away, 

to live yet another day, but

in a different kind of way.

All of that to say…

I will haunt your attic for free.
