untitled: my problem...



my problem is I'm negative
the world though is horrible
and lovely
is lovely and horrible 
that's my problem

my problem is I'm irritable
there's irritable weather
on my schoolyard door
cobbled streets I've stood on
with a hungry belly 
watching appetites
rape and plunder
and worrying that worrying
is part of my problem

I come down on poisons
that's my problem
I don't know where I'm going
but I'd like to see Jerusalem
without police

but Jesus has angels who avenge with fire
that's the problem
