FROM A STIRRING
While I hear many advise the life I leadinto their greening stares I often wonderwhat an inability to see beyond pleasantriesor outside passing judgments would doin the way of unconfining mefrom reaching to feign a connectionin the moment I still shrinkinto a memory of knowingI’ll doubtfully ever be called upon to meet againmaybe in this moment of minuscule desireto remain unknown and not containedthere were a few times last weekso called friends promised never to forgetand yet they did while I tried to believe some truthI find instead only a few convincing dispositionsto make sense of what is found in such social feats displays of kicking, screaming, or whistlingsince time itself doesn’t care for witty remarkstend broken hearts, glue torn photographs back together you can bet your own teeth the surest fallacies foundare in each of our memoriesparticular of those made of a life lived in disguiseprone to projecting escapist temperamentsfor carefully examining self judgment with a thorough eye implies implementation never-ending in daily lifethan relying on the memory summoned by a stranger pretending to be a soul mate from another life—since talk of being here now might be new age fluffthe lack of judgment tarnishes as cotton candy doesso protect my skin as if they are the bonesI get to carry myself through in.
