Hinged It's a feeling of bulkiness Gathering up the strength But also the coordination In front of the mirror A certain Goliath effort for Planning, detailing, getting affairs In order, all in orderless care Carbon planes rattle the Hotel air conditioners on the 2nd Floor below the outside balcony Smoky white dancing lines trace And replace a clear day view Like so long ago when all the world Was just a moment, just a day, Just a boy and his thoughts I made all the right calls to Make sure it all goes smoothly The plan in place and ready set I slip off the Adidas shoelaces And place them to the right hand Side of the bed with the night stand with the magazine the hotel Put out, The Kardashians' latest baby story About giving birth in designer high heels The eyes all white and faded in Too much light The cord in place, I move the Desk chair closer to the center of The room, the wheels squeaking Like the raising and lowering of the crab traps from the shore house, Long Beach days shine on Forever ago My feet wobble as I climb onto The chair, that few-second elevated vertigo Feeling obscured further as I slip Off my glasses one last time, Blind and blurred to all the world I cannot see Tears heap to vapor and disperse with a weary glaze down My cheeks as Life seeps away into mortal corners, boiling goosebumps on my arms Drowning nevermore, I feel the thresh of the cord As this world turns to the next And a soul quietly exhales
