drip
(fingertip)
trip
(microchip)

in moments of three
exalted, exhausted
waterfalls of divine ecstasy

composed of
teeth, hair, and bone
blue brown eyes, permanent half tone

five am with
three notebooks allocated
recycled, re-admitted, and re-animated

so few skills, and useless
creative lover
winter wordsmith

test writing, and
deprived of reason
remembering elements of treason

the morning ritual is
debated and disturbed by
photographs, and an old black cat

remembering swells of waking dreams
connections
tuned out in wild extremes

compulsion
conversation
conclusion

we verbalize and memorialize to internalize
but how can you find the answer
if you don’t know the question
