finally i got some new shit i been playing around with. As usual, it's
still rough draft, free verse, and incomplete. As a matter of fact, i was
a bit out of my mind when i wrote it. So please give me some feedback; i
need to figure out what direction i wanna take this thought in--you know,
diction, meter, rhyme scheme, tone, that kinda shit.
Oh well here it goes...

I hate to see you go

you said, as you were kissing my cheek, 
"You ready"
Well someone was whispering in the other ear
"choose any animal and you will become..."
Or something like that.

It was time to go,
"Let's go" i think you said, 
and in the other ear, 
"Any animal you want to be and with every word you are one.."
Or something like that.

For you, old friend, i would be any animal, 
and, Perhaps, i am with every word i say to you, 
and every word takes me back to you and those sunny days before we lost
interest in innocence
...Or something like that.

And i felt a kiss on my cheek as i fell into a sleep
"Goodbye" I never heard you say, 
and nothing in the other ear.
