The boy
Cocky and
Obstreperous
Just because
Adulthood looms
Wondering where
His vocabulary
Came from
Climbing trees
Coniferously
Rosin or resin
He was never
Quite sure
Sap on hands
Unapologetically

Building a
Book shelf
To somehow
Stack the
Building blocks
Of a personality
That didnt know
It was under
Construction
Words and
Too many ideas
That might
Never have been
Thought of
Alone

Phone booth
Ringing as if
Someone
Might be
Home
Neglected dime
On the floor
Fallen and
Lost
Passers-by
Dismissive of guilt
But quickening
Their pace
Destination
Unknown

Standing
In the rain
Is safe
A little fog
Even better
Shrouded
In the wetness
Of where nobody
Wants to be
A veritable refuge
Granting a permission
Otherwise
Not requested

Moving towards
Synthesis
Albeit from
Necessity
Thesis abandoned
After lunch
Antithesis
Can't stay
For drinks
Reruns of
The Dialectic
On TV
Commercials
Absent
Of false

Coils edge
So flat
And mortal
Tight wire
Wisdom
No knowledge
Enough
Silence with
Thunder
Whispered words
Of others
Unheard clearly
Heartbeat
Just a moment
From stopping
Balance found
In this
Moment only

Unaccustomed to
Mass delusion events
The populace
Carried on accordingly
Trying not to look
Grocery shopping
And dinner
With friends
Watching TV till twelve
Thinking tomorrow
Might somehow be
More believable
Cognitive dissonance
Exhausting

Soul pinned
To a body
Nametag like
Just to acknowledge
Animation
Clouds pass
Unnoticed
But noticeable
Likewise forgotten
So quickly
Hungry ghost
Wander unabashedly
Almost longing
For a change
Of weather
Through a window
Viewed
With eyes
All of it
Seen anew

Wander hallways
Of yesterday
Tapping the
Shoulders of
Old ghost
Enquiring if
Their presence
Might be needed
In tomorrow
Some willing
Others not
Passage to

That such a
Small creature
Might be named
With two syllables
But pronounced
Mostly with one
Words being
Compressed
As they are
In mountainous
Speech yet
Still able
To climb
An oak or
Gather acorns
having no knowledge
Whatsoever
That it is indeed
A squirrel
With no use
Of human
Nomenclature

Pleasant

When not
Otherwise
Will be there
Said with
Good intentions
Always honest
If needs be
The truth a tool
Wielded well
The hurt
Temporary
Making up
Routine
The door waiting
Patiently

In the morning
Before I forget
Your name
And the door
Quietly latches
Tell me that
It meant nothing
Just a moment
Between us
And that you'll
Promise
Not to call
Your footsteps
On the stairs
Your scent
In the air
And already
The stupid phone
Isn't even ringing

Together
Sitting rooftop
Just to admire
Sunset and
Crumbling ruins
Of city below
Why me she asked
It's mechanical
Shaking hand
Reached over
And held hers
Ever so gently
True love
Is what I was
Programmed for
The rest is just
Post apocalyptic
Coincidence
