I want to
Be
Like Switzerland
Establish
A treaty
With the
World
And myself,
I'd like to stay
Inside my
Shell
Or eliminate it
Completely
Could it be simple?
Or does it have
To be
Complex?
It's a matter of
Perspective,
I guess
I'm an elk
In the water
Avoiding the current
Undertow
I've never been
Good
At going with
The flow
Blaming it
On someone
Else
Won't make it
Go away
I've learned that
The hard way
But I still
Keep trying to
Stay afloat
On tidal waves

In an ideal
position
I'd spend more
Time
Talking to
Strangers
I'd agree
That saying
"Hell"
Is easier
Than
"Hello"
I'd accept
My indecisive
Nature
And Balance
It all
Out
Eliminate
Self doubt
I'd know
That sometimes
Shot gun weddings
Are okay
I'd runaway
I'd leave
I'd stay
I'd finally
Consider
The prize
Of my own
Perspective
With the limited
Connections
Even keeping
Me going
I'd sit up
Lay down
Walk around
Give enough
Of a ****
I would never
Think to
Quit
I'd make everyone
Happy
Even myself
But instead
...
Hell

We're both provoked
By boredom
Same age
Still shakin'
Our childish ways
Bad at listening
Unless the times
Are right,
Especially at night
Our parents care,
I swear
Bad at raising
Good at naming
All the funny
Coincidences
To take you to
The moon
And back
"C'est la vie"
I wish it'd never end
Remind me tomorrow
I'll tell you again

The shape of the body
Laying in the sheets
The note you left
Before you had to leave
Who knew all the times
Our lips met
We were giving
Our genetics a test
Just like a couple
Of spit swapping
Maniacs

I know you know what I'm thinking:
Virgins
Trashbag intentions
Looking through
Under your gaze,
Everything's changed
Night terrors
Angsty, sappy
Charades
All of the synonymous truths
The ****** counterparts
That have always been
Somewhat in conjunction
But generally speaking
I have my self doubt
I'm afraid I'll miss out
Or maybe fool myself forever

I've been drawing
A blank
Dwelling in this
So called
Conundrum
Only giving
Half hearted gestures,
Forsaking all others
I've deliberately
Out smarted
All the details
Lost in time
Jittery
On every
Steamy day
The remedy
Never lies
In the score book,
Or with
Criminal instincts,
Not even
The crooked
Cab drivers
So I'll wander
In these
Unvarnished
Chocolate covered
Nightmares
I'll hide
Under the
Stairs
Where spiritualistic,
Speakeasy
Behavior
Only leaves
You
Killed or injured
A whirl
Of such discovery
And you
Will finally
See
It's mostly people
Who cause
This kind of
Unease

You're fast
And brainy
The same age
You seem preoccupied
And don't respond
To question
Now and then
You'll swing
A cat
Trudging along
A line of scrimmage
Some kind of astonishment
Old fashioned
And furious
You come out
Of that line
Charging
In all directions
A shift glance
To get some sense
And controversy
A dash of wit
Is there such thing
As a curve ball?
Would you lose
Interest
If I told you,
No?

If I thought these dreams
Of things
Unattainable
Were things meant
To glide easy
And tread upon
The arcs
Where
All the clouds
And doubts
Of every
Enigmatic
Tragic
Thing
Stopped
There'd be thought
Persuaded
Lost
Leather men
Thoughts
Of some avoidable
And some
Unexplainable
All of them trickle
With smiles
Growing deeply
Into space
That is submission
Dismissing
Nothing
Sleeping and dreaming
On my
Hard wood floor
Anywhere
Just to be
Close
To something
Grow
Into nothing
The break
Of snapping lead
The twists
And winding sockets
In all
The empty pockets
I've wanted
Masquerading
Patterns
Entertaining
Anything
I'd take anything
For a real night
Maybe,
A truth fight
That emerald ice
Where I create
Some illusion
When all things
Fade
No longer missing
The attainable
But creating
Elusive paths
Where I am
No longer trapped

dangling,
trickling
stuck
in the sheets
you turned,
and spoke
as you looked
into me
"stop"
"it's too late"
"don't forget to close the gate"

So,
I'm trying to
Understand you
Even though
I don't really
Want to
Smooth tricks
All the mental
Ticks
And tocks
Of the brain
Your penchant
For spending
Time alone
And also not
Deep in thought
Guzzling on
The distinguished
Stigma
Of holding
All the
Cosmic grudges
Finding depth
In cantankerous
Plot twists
Keep on adding them
To your
"Son of a ***** list
Just see
What you'll get
Keep having
Your fits
Each one
Of your
Personalities
Will double
And you'll
No longer know
Which one caused
You the trouble
You'll fall
When you wake up
And ill-starred
Unaware
Blundering
Through the dark
It's sad to say
You'll forget
Who you are
