As I sit here sitting about
Sat about
Set about
Set under
Adjusted and satirized
I contemplate conjunction and whispers of fountain pens
I ponder perfection in all its elusive forms
And formulate dreams of distance and breeze
In honour of those gone and those who prevail, I wonder on wonderment
And feel the bliss of reality
On my doorstep
In my fingerprints
And under toe
I am consumed with the preemptive,
The pursuit of the preamble
And stuck in a rut of delicious indulgence
I am at the shore
My toe is liquid
And the sand is the abyss at edge of life’s waters
The water is words and writing and red blue topaz suns of possibility
Yet I am fraught with iniquity
With under handed obscurity that threatens my fibers
It pulls at my shirt by the small threads of conscience
Could I succeed
In simplifying the infinite into edible morsels
The light is dim
The lines are long
And blurred
The fountain spills eternal
Insidious undulations
Carnal malleability
Distant shores
Redeemable smiles and fortunes told
In deep silence
Reveries uncovered
Candy wrapper pink reveal…
I stand unriveted and serene
But covered by plastic gazes
Become wild and unsteady
Tripping over light and low bushes
And abandoned toys on my mind’s floor
Clutter the way and make me appear childish
Uncouth.
I talk aloud when muted tones surround me
I am unsure and undeveloped
A foetus in a world of the talented.
