Things come in threes

avoidance harks attention
critically focused details
weakness self evident
stoop to crawl
need not want
sense of change
modify the plan
goals anchor bearings

Create because…

…you can.
…you must.
…it speaks.
…it listens.
…it presents.
…it inspires.
…it lives.

Handfuls of air

trying too hard
to be myself
when what i am
is not hard.
softly spread thin
and losing substantiality,
this coarseness requires
an acquired taste.
such grit kneads
loose regard.
debris tickles
fickle fingers,
to which winds
pull grasps.

Minding another by myself

you spend your
time minding your
own business
and now you’ve got
people telling you that
doing so is bad.
when is it appropriate
to mind oneself
or mind another?
and how far
should said
mind go?

There, would you look here

here                                  hey, over here.
whoa, you’re a bit far?
naw, not really. you can still read me.
i guess you’re right. why over           there?
i’m just trying something new to me.
i see. how’s it working out for yeah?
looks different, but it feels the same.

I am not what I look like

she says,
at least you are cute,
which tells me,
i’m degrading.
the substance of my
being is dependent upon
a diminishing physicality.
therefore,
as i age,
i lose credibility.
my worth is
dependent upon
perishability,
something i
cannot
impede.
personality is a
trait recognized
by unseeing eyes.

I’m pleased, why?

look at that dog chasing its tail.
there’s no need to involve another.
content to follow itself,
it leads its own pleasure.
such focus belongs to nature.
a nature speaking will
of direction and definition.
traveling refinement
sharpens conclusions.
