all you do is hear music in your head then blow it out into the world

exalted by solitude i am idiot sage of giant steps. the
maniac of loss and goodbye. window open May
15 2015 cool breeze turned harsh like a drunk uncle
at a wedding lonely in a tuxedo and brand new
underwear. it is now midnight warm cozy in my
loss. in my shoes something stands. what? something
with garlic stomach pepper steak tongue teeth constant
rot and bleach brought bright. idiot sage. the one
who meditates past his voice's harsh laughter. the one
shunning all pointing fingers with a box of raisins and
sliced almonds. last night the clock was a murder
weapon. last night the air was so cold it bled
my dreams dry. secretly this isn't a poem. the tongue
becomes serrated at midnight. the heart glazes over
with plans on what to call the moment next. the heart password
protected housed in the frailest of all roofs. but this is
not a poem. i just want somebody to know that i tried.

it mostly certainly is a poem.... a personal tale full of the musings of midnight and someone wrestling with their part in it all, as i see it........in any case, enjoyed the trip
