So, how was YOUR day?

then
you
get to live with

now,
there
are no sides.

what was the

and
who was it for?

lights came on
just
in time

her eyes -
they
held no trust.
Moving
fakes aside
(no

THAT was Vermeer).
Today
we
marched together

Now,
no chance for truce
when
horror runs through
the
camp
of
foundational
fears.

you’ll
be heard -
JUST

for
what
it is.
standing
there,
it
came to me
the
order we woke up in.

everything
that happened
too late.

THEY said
she’s
free to go
but
the
seconds faded
the
morning drew on
too
late to prove
we
were not afraid

for movement

I
would never see you again.

in strongholds

of light welding time
that
time
the time before an imperfect
physical stepping into the abyss of beyond
(here and there)
hands tied and willing to consider
time spent with visionary voices
speaking face to face understanding pain.

you see anything?
because
you cant see
do you
think its not there?

again
still no
sign
watching
rising moons tethered to reality

Do you

closing
outer doors
mental
seminal realities -
why did you come?
how long before
you leave?
enough
have wept
(the
things we’ve done
to
survive -
do
they define us)?
what
if we are
who
we are now
surrounded
by
manual
overrides
capital
crimes
taking
blame
but
not moving closer
and that blame?
you
bleed for nothing.
NOTHING!

expense

altercation

morning pep talk)

the
cruel but unyielding concept
there
are always suspects
within
broad black strokes
and
voluminous
views
over
grey skyscrapers.
(SO
WHAT ARE WE PAINTING MAAM?)
Maam?

environment
that
is ferocious

sure it gets back to me you know he was an only kid - a long time ago - bearing in mind you experience time
(and

a little differently.
- brutal
- not an adventure,
- a pointless exercise
(you’re afraid), (so am I) but risking your life for something you believe in -
was
it worth it?
There’s
a car on a hoist someone working in its belly.
its
not my first case
floating
boats on locking mechanisms

guys
like you
in
places like that
maybe
there can be a deal?
What’s

Am
I still doing today?

I get a lift with Tina?

this day of all days.
the
dude who copies locks
do
you know what kind of key this is?
will
it unlock frustrated attitudes and existential questions?
Will
it knock the shadows from cave walls
allegorical
disputes in arrears
will
the rows of keys and
locks
keep THEM at bay?
have
you done the test?
It’s
a no
not
meant to be after all.
what
are you doing here?
what
answer would you like?
listen
I’m
sorry
Tell
me what happened
he didn’t
show
I
was ready to do this HUGE thing
and
then he didn’t show
why
are you smiling - because you’re back
this
is you - you’re back
and
we’re unraveling
does
this mean
I
should muster
my
star pupils for a field trip?

told him to

his chest
Where
are we?
First
I have to show you something

all rewound
and
certain corridors were blocked
those
of course were the ones
where
she needed to be.
do
you have a better idea?
She
could see his eyebrows rising.
I’ll
send his resume
man

my integrity
live
with whatever you earn
and
don’t underestimate
suffering in silence
rarely a smile
feeling guilty
using
the big guns
for secret discussions
on plus size couches.
MAN!
we
were ALWAYS
in
alternate realities
a
sink hole
some
story
I’m
a therapist
but
their disbelief
(shadowed
faces)
was
palpable
we’re
better off without you
he
closed the door
and
said
I’ll
find what’s there
I
lost everything too
open
your door
lets
share
(while
thoughts continue to pile).
everything
was long gone
before
that
sometimes
what
can we change
who
are you trying to change
me
or you
it
comes down to falling beams
endless
seems
and
places to live

always
substituted

CRISSX-CROSSX

river
spraying
gunmetal sparks
I’ve
been through this
before
you
know that you can talk

would you do all that

to)

this
is a preview
wait
I
know where it is
lets
go there
right
now
lets
go
to
a world
where
you cant catch me
no
matter how hard you try
HOLD
ON
NOT
SO FAST
its
different
when
the questions
are
not yours.
Large
trays of fresh baked bread

smell

formidable workforce
the
pause
brought
a beautiful smile.
For
what its worth
a
touch
can
make you move on
from
here to there
Are
you here?
today
was not my favorite day
but
it wasn’t all bad
I
thought it was what you wanted
just
not today
if
you want to talk
I
can do that too

not
enough absolution
in
a fantasy world

grey came so fast
the
voices were calling.
SO,
how did YOUR day go?
