Where are you tonight?

As if it was a game
I leap out
to spawn
an egregious word
again
unless we're talkin'
salmon and rapids
and then bears
reach and snag

gnash of day really
where you ranted
and I recanted
because it rhymed

and you didn't ***

I got lost
on my way
to my
denouement

There I was
racing along
and meaning
flew clean away

I could see it
over the trees
wings beating
hastily free

Leaving me
able to admit
nothing and
a little lost

I am not included
here
anymore
If you still
include yourself
here
I am very
suspicious
of your motives
hah

You would be correct if you thought
I was listening to you carefully
I can hear where you came from
and where you are going to
in your good morning

it just takes the sound
of your voice
the underlying vibrations
tell everything
you, if you,
cover

the best fakers work hard
not to overcompensate
not to obviously steer
and yet their pressure language
reveals their certain shallow nature
tools of the sea

this ocean of ambicioso
seething with us wanting
this or that or them
or to be that
and seen
so hungrily

I would be correct if you
wanted in
and will risk only vowels
a few consonants maybe
maybe a rhyme outbound
to see

I'm done with these things
I'm done with many things
we like to say
things like this
with finality

wow
I need to be
dramatic
see myself
big, powerful
decisive

and I am
simply
an overstuffed
human
flouncing my best guess
at manly at you

I don't want to own you
I want to be deep
inside you
now
now
now
