In Media Rez

I was left oddly riveted,

hip-spread at a departure.

A silly limed plant

potted in a lock-jaw.

Where were the cards hid?

My upper limb lost in the stale

soup crust that was coated

with lame questions. I still can’t

call back that scrappy wonder

that saw bare fleets when

the ships were always painted.

Maybe if I had been something

closer to the color in a color field,

I could remember getting wasted

on all unconditionals. Loopy

anesthesia gapes. But now I’m just

stuck on this brownwash exit.

Something bayonet-like

about it; nothing being pulled

from my breast-bone.

People will only have as much confidence in you as you have in yourself.

My life is a comedy,

I'm ready to play.

Here is where you are right now. Look up!

Some things change and some things remain. After a while, euphoria kicks in with the haggard realization that it's this.

You're who you never thought you'd become. 

Obviously knot; dubiously caught. That was a long time ago. A loaf for a life is like a life for a loaf minus the movement. Underneath the surface there isn't a metaphor but rather vague space. How do you know what to feel if you haven't felt before?

Where is "here I am right now"? Look down!
