aftr finding it
fleetin’ moments,
keepin’ quiet,
exasperation
front & cntr
in the dim of wit
steppin’ back
2 chk what’s amiss
-
drain’d out, of drinks 2 spill
bad taste thru, chapp’d lips
in case of youth…politely ignored
sittin’ down & takin’ notice
=
crowd’d in
with no room 2 spare
xcited by…
prospects of chance
wishin’ 2 4get
som things were said…
out of touch
along with the rest
-
men of means, with mouths 2 feed
knowin’ bettr than… doin’ a thin’
within that circle, countin’ 4 keeps
on the outside, scars won’t heal

all things consider’d
upon shootin’ stars
smok’d 4 the ashes
mix’d up with the wrong crowd
the skinny so far
in the thick of it
2 much 2 chew on
wearin’ urself down
-
lookin’ the other way
rather than sync or swin’
measurin’ the distance
removin’ a splintr
=
insidr by the window
chkin’ the outsidr
2 late 2 grab that draft
sav’d by the last tab
leavin’ it 2 chance
rollin’ with a spinstr
given a blnk slate
2 color with stains
-
unidentified object
pleas’d 2 meet ur bot
interactive hood
diss-connectin’ the dots
som virtual coin
2 get their attention
within con-txt,
without content…

a broken window,
& miss’d opportunity

so uncool, c’in what u do

spoilin’ some beans
umpire,
mannin’ empires…

thru meaningless talk
puttin’ it 2gether

as they reveal the layers
feignin’ interest
tellin’ it like it isn’t
=
projectin’ the illusion,
ez’r than xpect’d
makin’ it happen,
without a second’s guess
