Enraptured,
in the day break,
and how paper breaks,
under two thumbs only to be healed by broken lips.

Cocoa Butter & Coconut Fibers,
healed w/ banana leaves and nicotine,
smoke - stirred- fried
healed.
mind-body-soul
in cosmic rhythms,
that beat in ethereal waves,
caressing suture & stronghold alike.

pointless.
are hands.
which hold
w/o
being held.

nicotine patches
             &
pineapple fanta
3:54 am --- malibu sunrise
overdose
on optimism
-it was probably the pills again-
but promise me
that the paper will read optimism.
for theodicy is only debated
by
the faithful fool
           &
those hardened by fate
