lists


lists


i keep a laundry list
of things to be done
before i am the person
that i want to be.

things like eat less,
drink more water,
become a vegetarian,
pay my taxes on time,
donate a pint of blood,
finish the crossword,
cure [stupidity] cancer
write something profound.

i wonder if you
can tell that i am
working on myself
but not for you?

i keep a laundry list
of things most people
worry about but with
only a few things
crossed off.

when i reach the bottom
i will have only one
more task to fulfill.

leave.

snowflakes

snowflakes


there are snowflakes as big as my heart and
they catch as globs in angry jealous winds
naked souls dancing through tree tops quivering
frozen in soft kisses around cold little feet
currently vulnerable waiting for warm hands
to defrost my fragile chest gently sneaking
through my window there is beauty. there is
wonder. there is faith. there are snowflakes.

driving insanity until dawn


0745am 2010: driving insanity until dawn


i am at a borderline.// my personality meets me halfway.// but i am still Myself.//


i am at that /place where thoughts grow/ragged/and bending light/shifts through


words creating spaces.//





if i were to leave this space.// if i were to disappear into .//  broken atmospheres/


of the past/ of the future/ of the present/ crossing.// between/blurred boundaries


and textured contours?//





space is an illusion of/ depth and movement.// and my left foot is racing my right.// in horizontal timed rhymes/but i am still Myself.// standing with this disorder/ in order.//





i am an intersection/of zeros and ones/ at a border a/ cross between/ my life lines and sky lines.// but i am still Myself.//i am driving insanity/ toward the sunrise.//  released.//
