tomorrow
kids will exist they might dance they will hunt for decorated eggs. they’ll
laugh or get upset such a day to feel sad. a maddening rocket, a sip in boats
such forgiveness not to hurt. southern charms northern wits as a boy becomes a
man – those direct/hidden fears as tears running like spigots or feelings so
acute it frets upheaval. as looked into crookedness the art of betrayal where
it must conform. cakes or pies or both; candy or juice or soda pop; baskets
filled with plastic or Retrievers and flowers at father or mother or uncle or
aunty; at cousins or nephews or nieces.
bikes in pathways scooters in
driveways adults laughing and giggling and touching nerves. dominoes or gin
rummy or Yahtzee. dirty palms filthy nails while washing is an effort. babies
crying or snickering in all blue or pink. a feeling like fever a noticeable nonchalance
a question – too intimate to be more direct. a glass he grabbed a swat on his
bottom while he laughed about it.
“I don’t want yams. I want only ham.
I don’t want greens.”
to presume upon ham or to presume
existence while some are low. many lines in us many chords in us much pressure
to exist.
our rules are different our
affiliations are different our blues our jazz our juggling is different. over
mincing over antennas over literature. so much to read you so agonizing I give
life to see a smile. a fragment of music a damaged guitar or reading to get
closer – to juice or fruits or miracles. as thrown into atmosphere such laws of
mystics such running into jungles.
too low to admit it too afar to
claim it while thankful for its mystery.
gates are opened or dams are
destroyed as we flood into each other. The Ghost is aware The Ghost is staring The
Ghost is Intuition. films are on repeat the oven is a symbol, a word I take
issue with using. as delicate creatures living in harshness remodeled each
second.
confirm me. or splash me. or dip me
deep in names like Father, Son and Holy Ghost. as a reborn creature as a
baptized confession as screaming to get perspective on the beast.
a person knows for goodness.
