Belief

I am a man of appetite,

But I believe I have forgotten hunger.

I am a man in want,

But I believe I have outgrown greed.

I would tell you

That I think you're something to look at,

But I don't believe I'll be taking you home.

I believed the officer when he told me

That I don't ever want to do drugs,

That I don't ever want to be half-alive.

I believe the officer was half right.
