Granny granny : by Tony

Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo granny I miss you remember those staples in your head watching tales of the crypt you made us it the gristle off the bones of chicken. You were the glue the Puddy that held us together. Getting chase by blacky our dog around house while you sate in your chair eating your sardines they was always stinky to me. Your love was genuine it was pure. Didn’t play about your grand children why I always held you dear first tat ever made sure your name was there black bold just like you. Wish you could’ve seen the off springs you and my pops. Keep walking on my porch I see everything at night. Purple crows falling I see all it’s a calling my pain tells the story of my scares my scares tell whom I was they tell who I am the healing was remarkable head set on fire protected by the love of those that prayed for me protected by those whom gave birth to the tree. Watch what you do watch what you say it one other boy she loved and one girl that’s the heart of the family. We answer to her she says it goes he says he knows they know I’ll be coming my family my family I’ll hunt you like those night mares I called dreams I cry not because of fear I cry because feelings are new to me. So I see it as a blessing felt like the scare crow in the crops I listened to the birds whisper lies after lies you tell on your self I am a poet and philosopher this is the meaning calculus plus trigonometry Distance times by the angle times the seconds of instant change brand new light kicked in a angle gears jammed you plotted it at the beginning I see just like I feel take my shoes off and plant the heels of my bare feet in the grass high or low no snake can get past me. Granny granny thank you you prayed countless night told me time after time tony find you a wife leave this one alone leave that one alone you to good for them straight to their faces it was hell but it was grace see.
