“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.
