wish i could

wish I could be of some assistance and wish the gap
was closer feel as though I stand on the         
porch not allowed to sit at the table
take what I have and add it to what I desire
look into empty hands and that’s what I've got
on the porch and although the door
separating me from the rest is a screen door I still
cannot see in too well can’t hear what is
being said still standing wondering who put
up the door was it I, am I the reason I am on the
porch alone
wish I could make a difference in just one
that I meet in the doorway speaking through
the screen
wish I could do so many things
don’t quite fit where I am
sometimes I don’t know
wish I knew how to walk in and sit down
for now I remain on the porch and it is nice out here
I wouldn’t mind bridging the gap
filter myself through the screen
wish I could...
