Dial in. Press pound.
Silhouettes cloak our scars.
The brave face the lens.
An online commonplace book
Hours stealing years.
Pulled over for light speeding.
Mom…are we there yet?
MCA. Mike D.
AD ROCK. Madonna kissed punk
rap domination.
The neighbors planted
roses, soil dark and rich.
Wait. Those are tulips.
Blinded eyes. Voices
silent. Splintered benches sit
alone. Football rests.
Penalty given.
Gloved fingertips stretch beyond
her limitations.
Gandalf believed in
Bilbo, Shire burglar.
The dwarves? Not so much.
Blind detective, fly.
Empty mind, shapeless form, fly.
Track suit king, still fly.
Fall into darkness.
Breath. Skulls, shoulder bones simmer,
till’ downtown appears.
How do you grow? Your
blossoms blossom from above,
your roots claw below.
