Buttafly loves the wonderful poetry of this poetic soul sister.....Ms.Wanda Coleman

In That Other Fantasy Where We Live Forever

we were never caught

we partied the southwest, smoked it from L.A. to El Dorado

worked odd jobs between delusions of escape

drunk on the admonitions of parents, parsons & professors

driving faster than the road or law allowed.

our high-pitched laughter was young, heartless & disrespected authority.

we could be heard for miles in the night the Grand Canyon of a new manhood.

womanhood discovered like the first sighting of Mount Wilson

we rebelled against the southwestern wind

we got so naturally ripped,

we sprouted wings,

crashed parties on the moon, and howled at the earth

we lived off love.

It was all we had to eat

when you split you took all the wisdom

and left me the worry

Wanda Coleman
