…we
tow feelings, while challenged by existence, somehow waving back at ourselves:
such endless shadows, such faint regard, where emotion determines responses:
our inner terrain, our shifty perceptions, while deep feelings are
involuntary.... ...we appear serious,
we shift our compass, where something gentle seems strenuous: our backboards
watching, our passions heaving, if but this inner strength: those voice-overs,
those sound-bites, or this vehicle presumed as Reality: those capital agendas,
those suppressed appetites, while seeming indifferent….
…we
envelope insistence, our persistent mornings, our resistant evenings: those
daily rehearsals, our weekly charms, while alienated from experience: or too
involved to sing, where life is at terms, or existence seems decoded: but anger
looms, born to humankind, this force giving life substance: those wintry
galaxies; those rioting aches; or time by
minerals…. I looked at reflection,
this resounding map-war, where occurrences are battling for mirror praise: to
find such indebtedness, or indelible heart-pegs, where life has taken its form:
while nibbling pineapple, or pacing clouds, as one removed from squares: such is
tic-tac-toe, or a week playing our souls, at courage to take a shower: this
meaning in resistance, or something watching, if this something resides
internally. It was years at flights,
accustomed to disagreements, or favored for something passive: this dance with
inevitability, those showcase destroyers, or porcelain chimneys: such romantic
soot, or charming smaze, while consistency remained aloof: this tale here told,
concerning longevity, where Love becomes dependable habits: that fair claim,
even with its chaos, to know by familiarity such reachable interaction.
…we
pause cautiously; we summons creativity, or settle for universals: this slant
in reception, those appealing sights, or this range of devil-may-care: those
tall buildings, this edifice of uncertainty, where insistence becomes by
seesaws: this up-life, or perfect interaction, while tumbling through
existential rivers: this young self, those old tendencies, our playful spouses:
to reinvent our receptors, to have that warm location, or at times, feeling
deep curiosity: if but to re-adorn, if but to symphony softly, if but to doodle
in our memoirs: those solemn experiences, this solemn existence, at solemn
beliefs….
