Linking Upon Those Words Unnecessarily....



i travel a lot
perhaps i am searching for something

i do not really know
as i step on the the stairs of the plane

as i step out as i enter the bus
and have my ride

into nowhere i look at my calendar
in my cell phone

there too many confusing notes
scattering themselves like falling leaves

on a stormy day where murkiness seems to
be the words that float on the river of

time where men approach the day with an
answer of silence where women just smile and

do not give their names when
you face the fading sun and promise it

that soon you will stop and cease and be
another part of the whole picture

inside that living room beside a painting
of a rural landscape holding an iguana

with your ring finger exposed to the danger
of a venomous bite from a snake that hangs itself

in one of those beams on the ceiling
where the light gets short-circuited and ends

wounded along these lines of thoughts
on flimsy contradictory links clinching on

the crossroads of our inconsistencies,
adieu, you, too shall be lost with me,

lucky, you, too shall find the truth, about
this losing, and finding and exiting and becoming

at last free.
