FUTURE TENSE
The future has no obligation
to redecorate.
It floats blissfully aloof,
...
As I choreograph myself
Into the heated haze
Characterizing these hidden days,
Tucked away backstage
...
Even the subway rats are exchanging embraces,
it's the goodnight kiss for proper dates,
an invitation for improper,
old lovers, messy breakups, and makeups,
...
This thread can extend
From within
escaping caged ribs
whispering outward
...
I feel incomplete
without him, now.
Though not in any way
I’ve felt before.
...
The sun is sinking,
Melting atop many-windowed bricks,
Like tangerine-painted ice shavings
From the corner cart.
...
It will always be easier to complain,
To find fault.
To revel in negativity,
Like a hog in a mud bath,
...
It occurred to me that
life may actually be as spherical as the planet earth.
And just like the age-old misconception
of a flat forever dropping into an abyss.,
