#accommodation
Beside a full size bed,
full of destiny and dream,
a corpse dressed up
to fit among
the living, softly sleeps.
Carving sAl(i)vAtiOn in black
marker on the walls,
recounting upset memories,
I stick the landing.
I didn't plan to stay
In this depressive state,
but I'm fully equipped.
Adaptable to necessity,
without trying to fit.
I may be sad, reclusive,
virulent at my worst --
When will you
come to terms with this curse?
When will you learn
it's best
you be
who you
need?
When will you
fall in love with this curse?
When will you learn,
there's plenty room
for the misfit?

the howto
is a mighty force
it tells us
with authority
how to
best navigate the world
appropriate to the occasion
from love to cars to finances
it guides us
to the proper steps
and yet
it somehow fails
to say
why
if we follow the directions
we feel like children
rather than adults
why
when all wisdom
has been eagerly applied
we still don't know
why
our hands and feet
are tied
