homestead fingers
tangle up the score
and i hardly know why
except that i am
an exemplary patient
who giggles when knee
loses all control
the sentenced boulder
rolls rolls rolls
to where we started
a tactical feed
of the heart
sleepless again
brain sliced julienne
ignoring the phone
as much as i am ignored
by its whimsical absence
of simultaneous response
jettison of desire
outsourced mistrust
mistaking my rust
for a paradigm shift
making a fool of bravery
and underdeveloped storyline
did you think i would mind
being placed in the pocket
of your chaos?
distance admits admiring
comes more naturally
and let’s say i’m not ready
to make room in this life
the ancient falls every time
