Poetry
Creative Control
I’ve been negotiating
for creative control
of my life, but
I don’t think
they’re going to
give it to me.
Bill Zavatsky They Don’t Care
The trees and the flowers
don’t care
if I know their names.
Bill Zavatsky The Era of Good Feelings
I felt good about you. You felt good about me.
Bill Zavatsky “I would like to know…”
I would like to know
what you said
to all my friends
to turn them
against me.
