14 march

it's a holiday even if you don't celebrate
if every day was your birthday
how could you tell
and
you would be old!
all the tickets are for sale and some are free
catch the plane by the tail and pin it on the donkey
belong to nothing noone nowhere
pick up and leave your bags
ready to take off the flight the train the go
headlights in the rearview
nobody needs a map

13 march

peanut butter on graham crackers
grapefruit juice in bed
multiple choice and choose your own adventure
the greater the investment -
take my chances
extra pillow and birthday present book
overanalysis underfed
work better on a team: follow these 72 simple steps
listen more than talk
sit up in your posture
grow ahead and try

12 march

turning toward is either a slipslide into
or a careful picking of each tiny inch
i have been on this path before and yet
certain i will miss something
i am keeping my head down
studying the shadows as i squint to keep out light

11 march

and when i cannot hold my tongue
i let the words slide
avalanche of maybelater
tripping out to overwhelm
never sorry i said
overprone to overanalysis
rather i knew
rather it was put out there
sweep it under the rug
shrug
either any way
i know
i have given
and no answer
takes that away

10 march

as the world spits back time
spinning right round
recording all the static
beats per minute per life per hour
nothing to be missed
resolutions a step away behind apart
let's reset on tuesday
starting fresh on thursday
what i mean to say is
easy to slip by

9 march

turns out to be the case that it's open
hope is not a strategy but forward movement is
step into the box or onto the box
stand and deliver
quiver
full of arrows pointing every which way
fire at will

8 march

stretch strive stride
forward

all of the repetition excuse delays
set aside
