gone

caffeine humor dents thick psyche
with useful phrases

confusion underlies endeavors

out of control whens
pierce all initiatives dubiously

while mountains descend and smogify

if i knew where i was going i'd write a booksong about its singing pages
fersher yuhhuh

sickening spasms of illness begin to arrive
when suddenly

midlife calls

and like some sepia movie's wild jagged run to the wilderness
frantically leaving the wagons behind

it is every day's performance i now star in

amidst a caravan of extras hired
to laugh and applaud

while audiences wonder
