elusive future considerations…

elusive future considerations

 

i’m stabbing cigarette butts

into coconut husks,

making random associations

seemingly vague enough to

be illusionary. all the time

the strength of my words coalesce

between money owed,

various deliveries, receptions,

questions of loyalty &

the truthfulness of what i’m

hearing.

 

the few voices that reach

through the mire of obsolete

promises deliver more vague

assurances of cooperation

while frustration mounts in

torrents of valueless transitions.

today is tomorrow but for

numbers on a calendar.

 

earl grey evening tea salves

a cold night shimmering in it’s

own beauty & stillness.

rapid movement, apportioned

tasks, notions of solidarity

break free from absolutism.

delivery of minor blue potions

relieve the coming days of

cold sweats, sleepless nights,

incessant problems with wavering

homeostasis. ever the optimist,

i trust in miracles of

contingency. nobody is

sick today. there’ll be no

sickness tomorrow.
