After my meeting a.m.
I will drive to a quiet spot
Dr Dre headphones on
Plug in some great music
Sit in the passenger seat
Flip open my Laptop
And
Rea/edit
GUTTER FEELINGS
my first ever published book.
It will be strange
Revisiting that world I lived in
LOVED IN
and cringing at my
DEPRIVATION
READING
About a person so
Incomplete
Yet
Like now
A person who had decided
To make my life
An act of love
I will be dragged back
Into tough times
Committed times
Team times
Learning so much
Times
I will be reminded
Of my lack of
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Bull headedness
Bad examples of
YOUTH WORK
amongst waves of good
Practice
And stumbling faith
I don't want to be that sort
Of human again
Not that sort of faith
Not that sort of insensitivity
Yet I will be reminded
Of some great Youth Work
With a team of 40
Beautiful unique humans
Who I loved
Who I Love
And those beautiful human
Gangs
Aggressive
Violent too
And
Hundreds of loving growing
Adolescents
(Who still communicate with me)
Full of life
Full of searching
Who I loved
Who I Love
I will let you know
How I cope
You are so beautiful
Bhp
