fading light is slow to go out to listen to the hours in the courtyard jumping wildly between the angles trying to echo every window's contents to the others a buildup spillover wasting no time like the presentation of clouds a little louder than necessary and scaring all the scuttlebugs shrugging off the search for food and improving their afterdinner exercise to before to without to within a search for urges worth following hallowing and hollowing the pumpkins handing them to corner-sitters and biting off the bitter edges the watermelon wedges pressed into a jam no water no sugar just a recipe and time lined along the edges with featherworn lengths i am allergic to cursive and causing concern are those ill-earned remarks sparking the dark and keeping it too bright to dream it seems to be that temporary blindness nevermindness is the better way to see is the careful way to be and pulling off the road that troublemaking load is the easier solution is the hard-earned resolution to a window novel the dime size with few surprises and fewer pages staged for my entertainment in a near constrainment of technology and boredom they are waiting for that blonde to happen they are waiting to look important i am waiting for my butterscotch pudding head to think of something that's not mush instead of the lazy spoonfulls taking up my days justifying lying in a bed of rain and never getting up again until the digits are dryer taking a nap and capping it off with restless sleep got to keep busy and the dizzy avenues of ought to be are no closer to getting done being fully funded seeming like fun did you wonder and i do and there’s truth in the sunset but it’s diffusd in the clouds that have settled mettling with reality keeping up the cloak the dagger the mystery the tendency to interpret the way to get nothing done is to imagine how everything ought to be right here and now and how the person who ought to be doing it would be hopping up and getting started right at this very moment and then owning it although it’s much easier to give away
