words

sometimes it's perfect

unloading six tons of pallets before breakfast
then contact dancing a couple hours at night

on a sore knee
not tonight

often pushing the envelope kicks
the life energy in

and it is absolutely rejuvenating
to feel it circulate across chakras

right now not so much

-----

tonight the dancing was too sensual
even for me

and i don't react well to anger these days
i just get angrier

underneath it all there is vulnerability
sad and most of all loneliness

i feel so near to love sometimes
on the other hand decades pass

and i am out of the last bit of patience
with everything

monsanto still makes billions
bombarding nature's seeds with radiation

and now g e and company follow suit
with humans

while people hem and haw
about every bullshit thing

that comes into their heads

-----

dance and work I can manage

for despite suffering joints
and hours spent on the clock

i am fed
but words

i've had it with
they get me nowhere but lost

they do not soothe my need for touch
or buy me ice cream

they stress me out with their stories
and create dramatic arguments

maybe some wordless camping
alone but at least by choice

can help this desperation
to imagine any pleasure

out there
