I'm supposed to be somewhere

I think

I'm always supposed to be somewhere

neither here nor there

but mind you,

I'm aware of that 

so right now the feeling that

I'm not anywhere

is what frightens me

It pulls tight 

(that feeling)

and restricts certain circulation 

though the air I'm deprived of 

is of course not where 

it's forcibly supposed to be

A life spent choking the faith 

right out of a rosary 

can still let the nun 

pray on both hands and knees

biting her nails until the quick

flash forward to the apocalypse

and we can believe that

stranding the good lord 

in a road side diner

up in the hills of the bear tooth pass

can buy us a few more minutes,

In that altitude

Where there is no danger

and there is no cash

nor time

or the flash of genius

to find us
