My Perspective

~

it’s fine that logic’s lost on me
I’ve long ago set my mind free
and sanity’s so overrated
it distorts my reality

so who’s to say that I can’t fly
and whose right is it to question why
I wear my trousers inside out
it keeps the pockets dry

I see you smirking at my hat
it’s aluminum foil — imagine that
it helps with my cell phone reception
and fascinates my cat

yes I do lose track of time
days and weeks — is that a crime
life is all just one’s perspective
and I’m always changing mine

    Street Level

    ~

    I sit
    with my mind’s eye
    watch the flow of people

    the shuffle of feet
    with their different sounds
    according to their shoes

    the divergent realities
    through which truth stumbles frayed
    to move in the world
    rough as rope
    knotted as every quivered promise

    Bed of Fire

    ~

    aflame with passion
    you gaze longingly
    upon the tenderness
    availed before you

    aroused
    you gently lay your desired
    upon your bed of fire

    heat consumes
    senses stir
    hunger mounts
    juices flow

    you quiver uncontrollably
    eager for the ultimate pleasure
    that is the perfect burger
