before it took a horrible turn for the worse
by J.J. Campbell
sometimes i like to go
out on my front porch
and take a piss

watch the insects run
for their lives

it reminds me of when
i was a child

before i was molested

before my father told
me i existed to mow
grass and be a tax
write off

before i drifted off into
the obliviousness of
drugs and alcohol

back when it was just
a little boy and his pee

the overwhelming
sense of wonder

the joy of not
knowing
any better

too bad i can't get
back to those days
and enjoy the ride
for once
