things that creep up on you when you least expect them, the alert detect them, the sleeping dreamer deflects them, the stupid embrace them and I'm one or I'm all of them.

Do variables change?
it depends,
the very name suggests they do
but who can be certain?

Comfortable is not just a chair
it
is more than the state of a mind
being there,
tear up the rule book and take
a fresh look
don't getย yourself stuffed in the rut.

and what does it mean to me?
a sixpenny piece for the Saturday matinee
on the way to a Sunday at service.

in the spin
being coloured in
with the crayon
kept in the lines.

as it was it became and it was just the same
as it was what became of the man,

when I fall let me go
wanting to know
how it feels
