Breathing in than breathing faster, A perfect disaster this life of mine. I need a drink while I'm still here waiting, For this to all to be over and I'll be home. To sit by myself and think for a second Turning into minutes and now hours long. I turn on the T.V. just clear the silence, But just like always there is nothing on. Except for the news, but thats so depressing, And the weather man is always wrong. I lift my voice to clear out the ghost, With a voodoo doll and my imported monkey gong. It's pretty and gold, red trimming and swirls, My own ancient chinese secret hex reverse curse. It says ring it once then bow to the east, Then read the inscription its in cantonese. If I follow these simple directions my demons will be driven, But unfortunately my ghost only seem to speak english They continue to haunt me they rearranged my kitchen and stacked my dishes Then kept changing the channels on my television But they complimented me on my efforts with a nice try, Gave me a pat on my back and even said good night.
oddly enough, i've had the same suspicion that my 'demons' don't speak my language either, and that's the main issue, or maybe i've been bowing in the wrong direction all these years. i like this one james, very thought provoking.
Hi, fjamesj9701, With A pat on my back and even said good night, at least your ghosts are friendly. By the way, My own ancient chinese secret hex reverse curse....did we borrow that in 2004?

Balance of life..
They say the English ghost's are the most friendliest of all..good choice I say!
Ljj..
Really enjoyed your poem
Ghosts only speak to those who want/need to listen.
Thank you for your lovely thoughts
The old monkey is always around
What a nice thought?
He might be more a friend then an enemy if truth be told..
Again lovely read
