test

where I live is
meatspace
I dwell in
brick and mortar
not cyber
not chic
real concrete
no wonder
I suffer the pain
of
realism
Testing how long, let's see
How long can I sit here?
waiting for... what?
How long does this test last
and why
do I have to take it
what do I get
if I
pass?

stages of grief and joy

In the thick of green
you remember
blue
must you be so
fickle?

surrounded by red
you crave yellow
bright blinding gold
on top of
tarnished silver
to make sure your gray
looks
fresh
Right about when purple comes by
you push
for white
yes: no color
than black
and that makes you miss
pink

bigger than I look

Bigger than it looks
petals unfold in your sun, warm
clocks tick and whir
under a cloud
where you sit and
watch me melt
like so much snow
a lump on the floor
dissolving
into nothing
small, tiny, effortless
but
I am
Bigger than I look.

for the one's who wait

Once inside you rest and wait
and know what all the oceans know
The secret
of rythm and wave
movement without motion
Water holds thought of you
and your fingertips
drum drum drum
in the raindrops near the
windowsill of the house off
the coast of Spain
where I live
where you live
The silence is loud and makes you
creep around to save it
from hearing you at all
motion without movement
you rest
and wait
drum drum drum
