fish obvious answers out of the aquarium the brain mine mind loosely defined as a tank i'd never bank on for there are cracks and overactive imaginings the tragic rings of trees with growth in the most subtle of ways the stages set for a finale a rally around the collar all the stalling called off the zippers dripping with pulls and sinking down into the multi-colored pebbles the rubble like one trouble at a time sucked into a cheek to rattle against teeth drilling notwithstanding we are landing upright and feigning uptight glances of annoyance when really we have a tendency to welcome the deliverance from focus just hocus pocus and a few magnum opus-type works jerking along like a song out of touch with the stuff laughing at lines and misquoting notes when we find what we wrote yesterday was way better than this we kiss our attention goodbye we flip back through the pages and sigh wondering why or how and even now we look to complain we seek to remain joined in trouble we mumble and point we quote ourselves and repeat the defeated lines that draw our heads down we frown into our pages cultivating rages of a gentle sort for we won't purport to let it all loose like a tooth shoved back in with a swim or sink think tank ranking all the flowers in order of hours scouring the sink and blinking backward into the lodge the dreamscape where the noises all have ears
