Back

Back to the first side of things

Where the water trickles down

To the bottom of your feet dragging

Lagging computer screens

Abandoning last years dreams

To take a whole new trek across

The plains as a seed

Flying on the wind and battling

Oxygenated monsters screaming

Bombing for breathing

The hold of a dead pigeon’s wingspan

Folding blankets of freshly knit

Secretive ****

 

We were over indulged

To the point of tipping over

Our economies buldged

Till they burst a trickling odor

We were all just inside

Forgetting life without strides

Perhaps we’re all just

Loosing our minds

 

Back to the first side of things

Where my ring-worms congratulate

My acceptance as a janitor

In a seven story basement
