I’ve done
a ton
of sitting
in my lifetime –
more than I’d like to admit –
and nobody said a word.
The minute
I speak
about walking
nearly 200 days –
admittedly I tend to live in extremes –
everyone has an opinion.
After
hearing enough
I let them
take their shots –
most of them actually do care –
then lace my boots.
We
all
have our reasons
to stay or to go –
for fear, faith, or love –
and my reason to stay is going.
Having smelled
a great number of motel
and hotel pools
chlorine became a staple
of my youth,
so now,
to balance the equation
like higher education
I will indulge
the scent
of natures stream.
I
waste
too much
time
so
it’s time
I let
time
waste
me.
The lease is up.
The bed is broke.
The plan is made.
The bills are over paid.
It’s time.
Driving
through
the falling
Louisiana
Texas
Arizona
skies
and life
right now
is larger
than any
self
delusion
brought on
by sorrowful
routine,
life
right now
is good.
Some days
it feels
like
nobody cares
and then
out of nowhere
a
friend
gifts you
a space pen,
and, “yes Jerry,”
it writes upside down.
Dream,
nobody is stopping
you
from dreaming,
just
remember
who
to blame
when
the dream dies
and
life
goes on,
like it always does.
Not
every
person
is meant
to
stay
in your life
forever,
but
that doesn’t mean
you can’t tell
their
story,
it doesn’t mean
they’re
not
a part of yours,
so be a dear
and change a name or two,
just don’t
spoil
the end —
they’ll know if you do.
Two book lovers
sit together
on the subway
reading
alone.
Do they
have
anything
much to say
to one another?
Or
is
the story
they’re reading
better?
Probably not.
The
deeper
you try
to be,
the
more
shallow
you become.
Do you see what I mean.
