age old wisdom
silently watches
patiently calling
waiting until
i am ready

The soundtrack to life deserves the most wicked of baselines.
.
If you're ever on the riverside
where the sun beats your head
you would see the old man
selling hats of palm leaf
but you care not to notice him
having already smelled the sea
and too keen to cross the river
travel southward on the island
till the saline wind scalds your eyes
your skins itch to jump into the waves
yet the man with the palm leaf hats
would not cease to tell you
how burning would be the sun on the sands
and so badly you need to protect the head
by parting bucks that mean nothing to you
but a world to the mouths he feeds
and before you stamp on him a final no
she has one atop her hair
beneath which her eyes flutter like butterflies
her sun rouged cheeks untimely blush
and two born anew lovers
merrily head for the sea
having bought romance
for forty bucks.

the ghosts of
my past?

and when we got too close,

did they haunt you,
too?

I hope you finally find what you were looking for
Because I'm lost
And no one's looking for me

We all die, at different paces,
ages, genders, cultures and races.

If someone asked you if you were happy,
could you say yes?
Some say "of course" at best,
but is it sincere?
Would you still say it in a polygraph test?
Did you really mean it,
or did you second guess?

We all die, at different paces,
ages, genders, cultures and races.

Inconceivable, but Inevitable
in the back of my mind and yours.
They call life a game,
but who keeps the scores?

my name is not Lexie
it's Levi

my name is not issue
it's the change

my name is not self harm
it's recovery

my name is not mistake
it's purpose

my name isn't weird
it's special

my name isn't he/she
it's transgender

my name is Levi, and that will never change.
this was influenced by author Julia Dinsmore.
