Just hanging on and passing the buck

Just hanging on and passing the buck

A Poem by Christopher Staab
"

Went to college at two schools in PA. Really went to school to be a teacher was nine classes away but no luck. What can a fool do but write on. God bless all those who have touched me.

"
There is only one noose waiting
on the wooden stage
to be placed around my neck.

A villian.

Somebody really operating
under the microscope
of a good twenty associates maybe more
who influenced me in their lives.
Most of them still with a heartbeat,

and here I am trying to alter
the courses of other people
as well in hope of some change,
but I do not have that classroom
I wished for some years ago.
All I have is this computer
and my own legs and mouth
and my own rights and beliefs
hoping, just that something sticks.
That something will latch onto them
and maybe in days, months, years later
they will remember
something I shared with them
and they will say,

"Oh yeah, he was a good guy."
