What would it take
To have complete equality
Of idea and thought
Is it something
That mankind can achieve
I hope with resitance
I believe with hesitation
But I see what happens around me
And I fall back to frustrated
Resignation
A light does not exist
When the vacancy
Has been shut out
When the moment at hand
Can’t seem to be
What we can understand
So the hopes of
A brighter
Tomorrow
Become the hinderance
Of a worrisome
Today
All around
Wrapping it’s light
And sound
In the ears of those
Who can hear
The words that were said
A word that has an expanse
Such as that can really last
The Mothership
Has arrived
Comes with the New Year
A giddy attempt
At risk
Or something near there
Taking on more than
Should be taken
And handing it down
To those below
And around
A giddy risk is the simple
Start
To a complicated year
Write a word
Of prose
Of poetry
Of anything
Just put the hand
To paper
And go
Unintended
Yet reliably
Irritable
The conjuction
Of weird
And desireable
Is a fantasty
That we tell ourselves
To calm the fears
Of what is to come
Yet somehow
The unintended is what
Actually plays
Out
If words were easy
I would write more
Than I can fit on this page
I would write
Until I was blue in the face
But today
I celebrate words
Of all types and forms
So celebrate with me today
The words that connect us
All the time
Here comes the flatteners
The staple guns
And the irons
To roll out the foils
Pull back the stiches
And roll out the differences
In a moment
We hope to grow
But it seems
That the power from above
Only grows and goes
Beyond
So we prepare
To homogenize
Into one
Key States
Have a trumpet contest
On the even of a Tuesday
When the collection of
Words have been
Run through
A timeline for the latest
News
Today we have a vision
Of what is false
And what is true
Light and woozy
Is a bit off the beaten track
Of the whole time
Of mind
Support from strangers
In the strangest ways
That is what happened today
