When all
else doesn’t 
I default
to you
not by
fault but
by familiar 
so similar 
we were
being two 
little peas
that to
remember not 
would be 
to forget 

The farther 
I go
the less
I need 
and wants 
become the 
folly of
the fools 

Be patient 
remain calm 
and remember 
to breathe 
the world 
is ablaze
as expected 
do not 
feed flames 
by flesh
or air
shout not 
this evil 
shall end 
just as
the winter
gives way 
to spring 

When I
was chaotic 
I sought 
out chaos
now that 
I am 
peaceful I 
only allow 
peace here 
be what 
you want 

A blip blop 
or bloop so 
goes the words
of my chagrin 
so close and 
yet so far 
said the horseshoe 
to the hand
grenade as both 
sat waiting together 
tossed so much 
for trying said 
the teen to 
himself when his 
invitation was denied 
if breeze were
wind then we’d
all be sailing
