sorted out
of order,

years unpacked-
arranged backwards,

stumbling through
my clutter..

sheathing blunted
box cutter.

reverberance of
connection, amplified..

in pockets
of quiet,

as heart blossoms
unsilent,

cased in
chicken wire-

twisting
and crumbling–

uncluttering
escape..

from mind’s
useless mumbling.

dear drill, toothy
drill-

rattlin’ skull
still..

in chamber of
respite

your grind
bites

most
desperate.

sir rooster mounts
farm table,

mute, with proud
intent–

bold, for beast
so quiet,

feathers fan bed’s
drowsy brood-

rousing but
seldom
rude.

rather get
real-

than be
right

is
the lever

that heightens or
lowers

soapbox of
speaker–

peering up
to..

leer down
at..

so little eye
to eye–

a poor excuse
to not
try.

bus man, why
so long?

spare a story
or song?

i’ll lean into your
lessons..

fall not
on careless ears,

bus man, shall we
walk from
here?

stale bubblegum
smell–

mine
or yours?

i could never
tell

life’s flavors from
the pop..

until blowing
stopped.

..onto ice cream
now,

any sign
lighting shop?
