Strangers lace the streets
How do I ask
For you to infect my life
Affect me
Pour in and let us explore
Until the effects
Leave me intoxicated with laughter and life
How do I ask you to infect my life
Seep inside the cracks my depression left behind
Should I ask politely?
Or, should I just beg on the corner?
Hold a little cardboard sign
Hand held out, trembling
Craving for more accomplices
To decorate this black and white life
Bleed color into my glazed over gaze
And breathe life into me
Poetic Trials
