we passed the landfill
on the way to the cemetery
return and exchange
the conundrum

on track
I could think of nothing more than to walk away and yet there is something
Desperation perhaps
Or the need for adventure
The chance for
An emotion of
Dandelions that have gone to seed
Birds fighting over fluctuating puddles
Because these things are
Really happening around you

rock bottom
i carry it
metaphorically
metamorphically
associate objects
of past moments
i keep them with me
it’s heavy
not easy
a real physicality to burden
i’m a rickshaw puller, carrying this past
this past, the passenger
sitting passive, stagnant
beauty built on being fluid, now rigid
we are sad arthritic hands, wishing for our looser days
and wasting what movement we have left
desiring what we once had
we can’t have what we had
we make anew

a carnival of gestures
assessing situation
the silhouette
the Shadow
narrow margins
understanding fear
layering consequence
filling in the gaps
crayons and protocols
unapologetic decline

late night television
I want to speak to sexuality in secluded places, tiny rooms and dark parks, rough conversations about misinterpretation and emotion. I want you to think the thought, of a tiny flicker, of individual humanity that can exist at the interface of imagination. I saw two girls touching each other on late night television, seemingly enjoying the experience, which I suppose aroused an adolescent reaction in me. But there was no replay in those days so I just let it be a moving event, but that moment in time still bleeds through the layers which have piled on top of it. There is a fascinating clarity to the lack of immediate understanding, by the replacement of thoughts with feelings. A solitary experience viewed, remembered. Sitting in a dark room with a flicker of light wondering if anyone was thinking the same thing as I was, feeling the same way I felt.
