i have
been awake for nearly an hour
delineating
the small
incremental
differences
between
naivete’ and hope
between
bravery and desperation
it’s
good to bring up
the
question
and
maybe
the
anxiety
might
be what keeps us all
from
slipping into some kind of
permanent
sleep
and of
course these things are gonna affect me
so far
from anything
that
looks like home
the
limb walking continues
and
nobody has any idea just what is happening
just
what constitutes
me
anymore
you
spend enough time in the pattern
in the
rut
people
start to think you don’t know how to dance
that you’ve given
up
and
even though both of those certainly have been truths
for me
the
first little part of dancing
is not
being afraid to move your feet
and
when you look at it that way
what is there to be afraid of
it’s
got nothing to do with luck
i mean
you’re
not reinventin’ stuff
you’re
just getting up
and
getting down
coming
in to your own shade of brown
and it
takes some longer than others
to that i can attest
it
might look like this shade is well loved
but let
me take this time
to file
the official protest
because
it is really
only
about
the same
as others
and a
little late to boot
just
like jun said
when he
was so relieved
that i
had no intention
of
making him take a drink
but
wanted to know why i started so late
culture
is a
funny little thing
and i
wonder how far
that
umbrella can reach
