15 february

when the curtains come UP it'd be nice to have An Answer
not a dancer-around just to-the-point a jukejoint full of on-the-spot tatertots ready on the ketchup
and when i grow up i want to be
when i grow up i want to see what else there is
the space beyond between and under
never mind the great within: unthinkable unsinkable and on
strong enough to stand the asking - bending enough to follow breeze
that's a good idea too / wondering after undropped shoes -- or not
caught up in the moment: own it
possibilities of cities far and farther
vast expanses of earth unravelled
travels through and pausing
causing misdirection from whateverelse
the what-ifs and the maybes cozying up crazy intheface
chasing that heel, feeling for weak chinks in the now
cowards and deskeaters
overfeeding parking meters
what about that other place you dreamed of once before
what about the saving grace that's been there waiting for the chance
uneven lines and uncertain times: stay / go
inspiring to tiring out or lifting up at any given moment
still: there is peace in being present / even as
