justwrite 24 october

today the light kept cutting all the right angles and some left wrong too calling through neighborhoods like longdelayed constructions the rings of bricks licking tired lips and waiting for the aging patient for the roof the truth set free on a gravel road each carrying a load of windy notes the promissory quotes and reminiscent returns burning a hole in the standstill sidewalk talking out its hat and catching all the wedding cars off-guard the ribbons and the tulle with flowers charged by the hour all lined up in an artistic sense fenced in by expectations of a certain shutterwise filter off kilter in the corners but strong enough to test the rest against these circumstances leave something to be desired leave professionals to be fired shoring up more work for amateurs worrying less and enjoying more walking four blocks past necessity and turning right and right and right again back to begin with the earfulls of music and the view that anything worth doing is facing extinction on a lazyday diet getting up to try it to keep together desire and the means keeping the matches dry because you and I both known this show’s running out of episodes it’s easy to explode when your head’s full of sparks and you’re wandering through tinder wondering how to begin and if to sink or to swim would be more poetic more on point but don’t get disjointed there’s another tomorrow and soon someone will run
