There simply is too
much static noise now
on my broken radio
I hear nothing but
noise noise I suppose
like breadcrumbs promising something
better yet to find
but there are too
few stations upon which
to listen and far too
much noise where did
the music go where
did the melodies run
All I ever hear
now are scratchy sounds
problems and dissonance and
diarrhea spewing from unfamiliar
mouths maybe it’s time
to just switch off
this old contraption and
instead listen to nature
the wind in the
trees and the silence
that the stars promise

If I were a
book I’d prefer to
be read by someone
who has already read
me someone who knows
and anticipates and waits
for their favorite page
and favorite part someone
who enjoys my weight
and the wait the
wait for it to
happen there’s always something
good about the familiar
a cozy place a
welcome spot and if
I were a book
I’d hide in plain
sight and always overlooked
for there is nothing
special about me except
to those who have
already dared to read

And then yet again
after I was certain
that I’d gone somewhere
else down a different
path and through a
different thicket and past
unfamiliar brambles and a
grove of wispy willowy
trees in a clearing
and overlooking a river
sits the same dark
wooden bench ebony I
think and very strong
I sat to rest
and felt comfortable there
supported protected and warm
and while I knew
that I was somewhere
new this particular bench
continued to appear and
I knew then that
wherever I go you
my friend will be
always with me too

And just like that
it was over friends
who are friendly when
I make them laugh
are the first ones
to take flight when
I don’t there are
very few things in
this world that are
just one thing and
people definitely aren’t that
it’s really kinda sad
Grand(er)(est) (for Jaime)
There’s a stark difference
between career and vocation
A career is what
you’d like to be
whereas a vocation is
what you were meant
to be the hard
part isn’t in the
achieving or even the
success the hard part
is the admitting oh
you can spend your
entire life dodging and
ducking swerving and skidding
but what is meant
to be will always
be I caution you
to stop your suffering
and just give in
for just like dying
you have to trust
that there’s something grander
