Nomen
Some face seen
As in a dream
Made manifest
Before your eyes
Does vision lie?
Perhaps it does
In its own time
For which it is
Quite suited fine
So well aligned
As if for some
Great planned design
Whatever treasure
That one finds
Expressed in verse
Laid out in rhyme
Is always what
Will be divined
As has to be
Such as defined
Piece by piece
All line for line
He says he loves me.
But of all the poems he wrote,
none had me.

-elixir-
The shards of fallacies
of the past souls
await, the robust
youth.

The shards impale them,
as their boiling
young blood,
stands witness,

To the reminiscence
of the fallacies.

Walking along these streets
I hear the birds tweet

As people post what they think
I heard the news fake

And people take

            Seriously
False narratives
Continuously

I look over my back
And back my over

For every movement
At this point is covert

As I stride along
People and pawns

I check the mate
And take the queens arm

On this chessboard of war
For time and it's law

I've been walking along these streets
But maybe I should

Run
Wind in my hair
Through my skull
It blows
Faster than my face
Over the earths pull

The taste of speed
Every mile an hour
Delivers me
Away from slow

If there be a finish line
To start with a go

Walking or running

Perhaps these streets are coming
For a race of humans
Ability to know

What is real

I didn't mean to be me

It happened so fast
It was hard to see

Me

Trying to be

I didn't mean anything
I was ignorant
Explaining things

I didn't mean
To be

Me

I was born with this image
I try to distinguish
But

I didn't mean it

I

Didn't mean
To be me

Maybe I should
Leave

Because
I didn't mean





To be here
