JOHN STILES

I’m not shy, you know

I’m not shy, you know.

I’m not a saint, you know.

I just go there,

in the air,

You know?

O

I like to sit, in the

back, writing things,

seeing things, thinking

things, you know

OO

I have chemistry,

you know?

With a few that

I know.

I’ve seen Angels,

I see it all.

O

From the back, in the train cars,

under signs, under lamps,

getting bumped,

gasping at people,

You know?

O

Testing ways I go on my instinct

waiting for what?

I heard it all – spirituality is wrong…

No. No. No.  I don’t think so.

I don’t think so.

You know?
