This Was Nice

“This was…

nice”,

he says,

punctuating

this moment

as to

affirm

it was

not

wasted. by K

A Steady Schedule

Around my waist,

around my neck,

is it a belt that keeps me in check,

or something to hang

my head with.

Policing Self

Examine those eyes —

they were never meant for tempting triggers.

Easy arms, give up 

your sweat-stained grip, 

lay down your guns.

Let the cop and criminal in you go.

Television

Ravenous for honey,

sweet, but sticky,

I’m Winnie-the-Pooh,

stuck in the jar.

I sit on standby, 

eyes pasted front,

ravenous honey,

digesting me.

Seeking The Sun

I hiked all day seeking the sun,

but found tepid wind, browning shrubs, and clay.

As I stopped scouting for reasons to linger, I noticed

the clouds looked quite lovely today.

Drinking Water

Follow the impulse

when treading gets harder,

take a large gulp—

walk over water.

Street Sweepers

Who else would collect non-belongings,

or turn splashes of trash into puddles of Spring,

or brush yawning streets like a father tickling

his son to wake him up in the morning?

Get Out Of The Car

Driving down roads paved by men I’ll never know,

On highways planned by generations past.

The only way I’ll see beyond the horizon:

Pull over, slow down, stop.

Get out of the car.
