inside you is a tension
from the building up of steam
and you won’t just let go of it
for that would be obscene
you pretend that you are limber
so to all it can be seen
yet you are just a child, dear
just-a waiting to be free’d
so come and take a ride with me
away from your sick dream
i’ll teach you how to lift the world
and put it down, where you please
see the colors of the void
and then, too, of the leaves
think about the higher things
and sit up in the trees
let all of our love out
and let it flow
in-between.

if the shoe fits
poetryi am a moment
abandoned
for fantasy
you sneak passed
my gravity and if i
stay i’d give credance to
fate
if i did that i’d be lying
and moments they don’t
lie.
i’m still invincible. just for the record.
poetrywe string together memories
of the same place again and again
trying to add flowers or balloons
or whatever will make the same
sidewalk more colorful
on that perfect sunny day we
return to as we write poetry
in our heads just like when we
were 20 and invincible
