bonfiring on the beach you are out of reach of self-indulgence this is the greater good the smores you should have thanked for their reluctance to escape from multiple ingredients into this recipe it is hard to be part of the larger to lose onself in a smashedup mush we are pushing forward on our own and we are losing our pieces out of reach of the individual accomplishment we sent our names packing we are giving up a little at a time we are saving up our dimes in the accounts of others hoping for interest hoping for the stress test to be passed hoping to last past uncertainty i am ready to change i am ready to rearrange my space my laces tying too tight the night around my shoulders growing older and aloner more together more apart we are starting on this together apart we are leaning in and out away from toward there are too many prepositions directions to point to and what will people wonder what will we blunder toward with arms outstretched will we find each other will the hunger for more be fed with less will we bless our imaginings with truth unused to the light we are running and racing and no one is following but still we wonder if we will make it all the way safely and what is safety but limits and can we begin it without doubt
