"recolection" poems
We've invented a million ways to tell a story
Adjectives and synonyms to value our thoughts
Little saucer eyed dolls use happy sad pretty ugly
Our sculls thicken around swollen brain links
We develop lingo and secret codes to dance around the truth
Inventions of complication
Syndication on an over developed dialect
Our words grow longer
As our recolection of the very idea we hoped to convey becomes skewed
Muddled in adjectives
Convoluted in rhymes
Twisted in talk
We forget our own simple thoughts
Our roots are buried underneath a blanket shadow

now my loley reflection stains
my vivid recollection
and I stare not through
but at whom I
never thought I would become
