hes almost as tall as me now hes as

thin as a rail with weeping willow hair

hes so much like me the poor boy is

so shy so hesitant so certain (that)

he doesnt measure up somehow (that)

hell always fall short somehow (that)

hes not quite as brilliant as i say he is

this room is as hollow as

promises right now

without you in

this bed

this house is one empty planet

hurtling across the universe i am

waiting just

waiting

while you are away

sometimes things change like

the weather sometimes

sometimes

the past becomes the future

and dreams dig deep

into themselves

sometimes

you end up with whatever

you hold on to whatever

you hold dear

sometimes dreams come true

My poems are becoming vegetables

Crisp from the refrigerated drawer

In the steamy kitchen of my mind

Lettuce carrot cerely and tomato

A solid salad tossed into the air a

Sort of sustenance nourishing good

Yeah

I’ve got them

I’ve always had them

Here with me all along

Like marbles in a sack

Dragging them around

For center & balance

On steel and

Chain
