Shed

They used to take some of us
out back there when we were bad,
and whack us on our butts or wherever
so we could learn there were some
bad ideas we should shed.

They took us out back because they
couldn’t take the shame of us, and,
wanted to protect us from our shame.

We’ve all have to shed at least as much
as needed to fit in.

I learned the goal was to shed it all.
After the first few beatings, I didn’t really
need any more. I call the first few beatings
the first fourteen years of my life.

The more you hold on, the more
you will have to shed when you’re dead.
