warning for a young woman 



I am no window 

only a ladder leaning against the wall 

a different question to consider 

on the road to Timbuk3 we heard 

"sunshine can be dangerous"

sugar is poison

beleive that and remember 

there is no Superman 

no bodhissatva

no Body to stand between

you and your God
 


- Ken Peters
