I
get by science so spliced a hybrid child: a little different for us like rare
orchids upon a herring bone. such outcrops such grieving while unaccepted. to
imagine a golden spoon while mine were silver or plastic. but a smokestack in a
farmhouse if but three meals consisting of pork. maybe fried chicken maybe a
baked potato or maybe a good night. either stuck or unstuck. running through
backstreets. pausing at street-furniture. a fever for a fool a delight for Ms.
Delicate or so engrossed I wasn’t there. Marina obsession stopping at Old Navy,
plucking a pair of denims. so rushed so abandoned while we sense something went
right. a younger machine some psychodynamic something giving endurance. I loved
taller fountains or shorter locomotives where for me, it’s always been
something unfaithful. I listened to Billie Martin, a song named Cursive, I’m
skipping around. So, it was muddy steps or beige buildings, or a neighborhood nanny—as
sipping gin a repeated example but resolved to act in accordance. Dreams of a
Maserati rushing to touch cash, an invisibility where it all looks the same.
but more to colleges or membrance of excellence while unfamiliarity breeds
passion. a low brow mashing potatoes or eating neckbones. such meals as tasty
reality while unspent by taste buds. a first car while driven to succeed a few
habits untamed. a Ghost in me a doctrine in us where it seemed viable. a
threshed intellect a revving intuition such a paper due at midnight. a virtual feeling
a chorus in lights as stumbling into stoicism. or so alluring too hurt
practicing perfection—the green horizon as never a curse but trying to balance
a hidden handicap. 50 meters high gripping to branches looking at a possum.
those wings on passion those legs on moving or those smiles a dent into a
psyche. starling shows for starling skies, or a firefly frenzy. I looked with
affection, she looked with disdain, I often wonder how we become imperceptible.
a winning strategy, but Love was smitten, so it’s easier that way. we exit a
district we enter into a colony where most blacks aren’t accepted.
