Floating without
thoughts,
surrender to life
junkie like me, this
itinerary
was pure
fellow passenger
I, zodiac
memorable trip
tantalizing isolation
feeling distinctly unsettl ed
island under skin
chasing after
cover story
remind me of a midsummer-night’s dream?
Sculpt me
in something
other than
your preconceived
clay perceptions
watered down
damaged cover
ripped off to be
sold marked down
fuck me
in something other
than resentment
god damn you
for changing your mind
when you broadcast your resolve
sandwiched between
morally acceptable
& socially irreversible
one will find the truth
in excess or
at least in an excuse
find your muse
in a bottle
or in a fuse
mind your q’s
silence your sighs
just don’t do what you please
Looking for
meaning
I am feeling
bereft
of purpose
Devoid
Of feeling
I am meaning
To do something
Important
I am lapsing in
My judgement
Feeling
I am lacking
As a husband
A father
As a self, myself
I am battling in my health
A child’s laugh
Makes me smile
But now my tears
Are all grown up
I’m all grown up
But now my tears
are welling up
I’ve been gone too long
now it’s time to come back home
Old friends
come & now gone
they make us who we are
leaving memories & breaking
our hearts
Wake me
up from this dream
sequencing shortcomings
from A to sleeping off the pain
of day
Bookshelf
buckles under
the weight of you & I;
the pressure of keeping things to
gether
Trying
to shake this shit
mood I’ve been in all day
all week, month – hell, practically my
whole life
I am
a canceled stamp
headed on my way out
deliver me from dead letter
office
Tired
Of being my
Mediocre at best
High standards lowered to almost
Nothing
Short term
memory bank
withdrawn & short on rent
malcontent still looking for my
savior
