in the stark outlines where
confidence bristled against dream against
faint phantom freight train adolescent knowitall
guru drugfueled mantra resonator confrontation mind
melter fuckhead i am
playing kick the can alongside coloring book designs
thinking to paint past the curb drinking paint drips
drunk on emotional alloys and intercontinental drift
subsumed in deep sediment
atomic clock shift
the seconds hand secondhand
thrift store timekeeper
and i can't summarize a life lesson when
the life lived feels epic format
drumming fingers on the unused dryer
philosopher in the laundromat
wet with time to spare
clothes tumble like emotional totem scraps
feeling like quarters out of an owned machine
an old machine functioning simply off the
scrape for green future possibilities
i'm inability calling itself maturity
lurid when the time permits
fluid as an iceberg
nearing evolutionary city limits
smashing through the hudson i've
arrived i thrive photosynthetic like
alaskan wildflowers wavering in an
endless sun
and maybe this clumsy growth has just begun
splitting poetry libation into its
common parts a marathon runner intoxicated
on the blurry scenes i pass by or
develop a path by
and fifteen years of composition notebook autobiography
is its own laughing adolescence and
on a mission of purification i'm
sussing out the essence
