preemptive comb-over
greying chin whiskers distract
crows-feet stretch along the horizon
fluctuating flatulence
aging
bright eyes shine brown
as a youthful disposition
attempts to fill old space –
spaced-out on the space-heater
I stare into the dimensional riff
where the floor falls away
and my incorporeal energy being
floats
freely –
medicated and meditative
my motivation for misappropriation
magnifies
I mount an attack on Amazon
adding material trash
to my ever-growing carbon footprint
……turns out the American dream
takes VISA –
pinning for Pine trees
I leave the safety of internet shopping
expedition and adventure
in the Cascade wilderness
40 years does not an invalid make
and the lonely mountain trail
gives peace and solace
to my ragged and frayed
emotions –
emoticon laden text
forces me back to civilization
emaciated, but emancipated
I step back into the world
refreshed –
