Sometimes when I come (home),
I want to make a found poem out of
all the memories I never had
/(have yet to create).
It's all those words that I wanted to apply,
like "free" and "full" and "release"
and "unencumbered ventriloquist" and
"owls".
Just for the sake of sinking my teeth
into someone else's dictionary, vocabulary
(early morning rituals.
Perhaps I can slink into someone else,
if I adopt their lexicon,
and prepare my coffee the same way).
What are you spewing into the atmosphere?
What are you defining,
bringing into breath based on your action and reaction?
I could feel my hands
(plucking, grasping, ******* tearing)
your letters and phonemes and characters and verbal intent.
They're still on my pillowcase, I just don't know if you want them back.
I left mine buried in your red hot chili peppers lights,
you can keep them.
We have so many different endings.
