Welcome to our infinite thursday
we make it look easy to move our hands over rough surfaces
we move toward goals sincere
make things tangible
our negative thoughts don’t have time to cumulate
with a chair to sand and a bike to fix
and infinite other possibility

It would be
The greatest yet simplest
Idea of all
The usual with a twist
A fatalist protagonist
Learns she’s been dismissed
Beyond accepting status quo
She meets act one’s
Prodigious foe
With fervor, spirit, earnest gristle
Whips her future,
Cleans her slate
Forever changing her own fate

Flies on the wall even felt the love last night

Something brilliant followed something plaid followed something hurried into the brassy night
Beer cans and weed and automobiles
Provided goods mixers to music and dslr fun
The best part was a trusted friend
Tagged not my indiscretions
But lived immortally in memories made, precipitating something brilliant

Precious precipice, lighting so clearly the rocky way down
I’d like the lunge toward the light, knowing that angels’ gilded wings will guide me straight
Let my body fall
While I soar to new knowledge, infinite edification

Luckily for you, your boyfriend has no say in this

i take it from here this blind frenetic arrogance
I’m guided from this moment hence
and pray for focus and clarity
that fairness could be the key
to truly see beyond the me, my universe to ultimate reality
where those undeserving foes
prove full of anger, stench afoul
and pay for sins by tooth and jowl
and when it swings it’s door aloft
My skin will fold, all iron soft
to reach the size I dreamt I’d be
a modern, more accepted me
And praise will never phase a foe
to hide, to keep, or let it grow
can’t solely be of my control
so breath is all I take
the mistake is ours to make
our sake to be told, when we’ve read it all in books
from antony to mysogeny, practice in patience we learned in history
children who blissfully saw their parents’ world
now see incongruities
insanity all bound by religious habitual traditions
what would my father think?
can’t take it, instead we drink
I raise the stakes and let them sit
on summit or abandonment
for universes round and vast
shall cherish souls until the last
stillness where we lie on golden floors
take my broken ten year old self and tell him this world’s yours
and if the air chokes heated coal, our present minds howl at fluorescent light
too busy progressing to see locks on the door
might conjure up a spirit or four, to
guide us and enlighten us protecting us forever more

I see my reflection in this midnight spatter of ginger ale and saliva
it’s me with a better hat
and more friends
but fitting, the vocabulary comes to mind
and softly salts my desire
I observe an industrious epicurean
tipping his chapeau
stops to greet the welcome warblers
dining in the snow
and when the fog surrounds my reflection
air becomes poisonous
and reflections don’t matter

How it feels he asks
How it feels unusual
I say it feels new
Let’s not pretend we know what we’re doing

Stagnant soul
catalyst for many

Funny always catching spirits
When mine is the one needs saving

i was never myself long enough to say I love you
it’ll take a lifetime to get back what I lost
but I’ll wait patiently
river rapids or none
i meant to save you
a stranger needed no saving
i was swept away by hedonism
and washed ashore my boring thoughts
i copy wrote our love story
you spoke outside the lines
i was left with empty pages
vacuous words without rhymes
I’d gladly take the stairs to nowhere
gentle hand caressing mine
hearts beat faster, elevations
i thought I could never climb
oh yeah I feel you
Oh yeah you move me
oh yeah I didn’t say
i was never myself long enough to say I love you

We traveled my way for a time,
Sharp bricks scathed neath our boot heels
Narrowly dodged thorny branches
Holes in leather soles, path meeting bare skin
Uphill all the while
We took a turn when the path brightened
Flowers held promise of shrivel and death
I’m giving up my will for yours
And taking these ragged boots off
Let’s walk in the green field a while

Pride comes to play when love isn’t present
I hate to admit Ms. Farmer had it right
Putting complexity on a line
I’ll find magic today if I choose to discover it
I’ll wait a lifetime if I accept the world’s view that magic
Simply does not exist
And we should all be proud

I took a snapshot of everything you gave me
And placed it in a plastic bin
Sealed by sheer will
In a darker corner of my closet
My closet has never felt more blessed
