It’s funny how some things slip your mind so easily, I’d forgotten until now I’d been a child once. But now it is as clear and real as the outcome of the next few spilt seconds. As if I were them I can see myself from my parents perspective leaning over my pram to tickle me, strange though… to see myself from their eyes.

The question begs
Why perform an action
Not conducive to motion
In the direction
Of your desires
My will is sleeping
It too needs to rest
Only now occurring
Is the thought
That I’m being bluffed
It’s fatigue
When I need catharsis
Instead I change seats
Unaware of the facts
Random stochastic acts
My internal logic
Is wired backwards
Approaching chaos
Then I hear the voice
Of the ex waitress
Choosing another seat
Her words having been elsewhere
Navigating a torturous route
My senses tell me
What was that?
You want to sit with me?
You’re new here?
There is no communication
I get lost in thought
Trying to pinpoint her accent
Domestication
You’re too cold sometimes
Blinding me to the chances
You’ll ever give my soul
The gentle, warm-handed massage
It tends to want to need
But that may not be it
Or at least not all
What if there’s suffering
Involved in finding out
Is it worth our while
You need a person
And I need a horse
You’re wild and untamed
And I seem capable
Of fulfilling that role
Speaking of such
I admit I have a whip
But not that I use it
Except perhaps on me
When I find myself asking
Those same questions again
Should I stop it here
Although more often why
Would I not resolve this
Like I do other problems
Thing is this
I lose interest
And gain lethargy
In a cycle
Time is but a mediator.
The squeeze
We’re in a Mexican standoff
With no one to talk us down
Glock gold fatal stranglehold
Malignant but for some
Power’s too diffuse
Words echo through space-time
Black oily reins no use
Because we despise it
Knowing nothing of them
Not a moment’s inspection
Even holding our attention
Ends in vinegary revulsion
Pro tem they form empires
Built on pyramids of data
Networks of metastatic knowledge
On an already divided world
Our monarchies moan
Our oligopolies creak
Our democrarchies putrefy
Until we fill the void
Hyperbole
Travel ages the soul
Like clocks on trains
Run fast
Reaching the line’s end
Still deep in thought
Slow the mind
Wasting a journey
Is like wasting a body
Prepare for approach
Arriving unready
Is disrespectful to life
Be grateful
For the change in setting
Or the time-effort saved
By staying still.
