Gather thy courage
For you will need it
Through the muck and dirt we wade
The dark gives way to a  shimmer of light
So far in the distance, yet so close to our hearts
Broadway is empty tonight
Say for a shadow in the distance
We run with no escape
But hope for a better life
The winter breezes seems to calm the pain
.....and we are here.....
We. Are. There.
When I like a song
I'll play it a hundred thousand times
And when that's done,
I'll avoid it like the plague,
Skipping it on my iPod.

When I like a craft
I'll put my all in it,
And when that's done,
I'll slowly lose interest,
Finding another hobby.

I'm fickle-minded
Can't make up my mind,
Jumping from one thing
To the next.

That's why
I've never told you that
I love you.
I have commitment issues, really.
The end comes suddenly;
there you are
standing in it.
My body is a temple,
though abode to no monk.
i am a cork, set upon
the rapids today.
a storm, rising in
the darjeeling tea.
lightning, in the sugar jar
all bitterred up and jittery.

i am a feather, caught up
in a whirlwind,
on the edge of a cyclone.

running laps incessant, on the
hamster wheel,
of insomulance, that's me.


frenzied, fury, frenetic energy.
revved up, to beyond the max,
caught... ******* in a box with
bright,binding string.

claustrophobically, confined,
ready to explode,
my brain confetti, tizzy-fied.


why you ask?
            what's the go?

that's the ****** problem..

i don't know............
The first time
you held my hand
was on that ledge
before we jumped

a memory etched
like the cloud we said
looked like chimpanzees
playing cymbals

you freed my heart
that day
when you held me
under the waterfall

I should have kissed you
But you beat me to it
Tell me you want me
under your sheets

I'm a bit hollow these days

let's talk about it later
just take off your clothes for now
you
folded
me
like
paper
into
cute
little
cranes*

just to keep me in a box to make room for
someone new

— The End —
