I really gotta stay away from the people who have drained me
monetarily spiritually emotionally

and there are so many neatly stacked like books
tumbling this way and that
falling on my face

ego smashed

why do I take everyone in, and only so very few
just one, in fact
ever really tried to help me back

food favors friends

givers givers

say goodbye to hosting hosteling boxing

my gloves are up now.
