Chimera

Stacking cups,

Slowly at first

then later at speed,

Dropping marbles

so they slide into the others

with transfered energy

and with apathetic tendency

I watch and learn

I speak to discern

my ways and systems,

I list them

on stationary

on walls

on hard drives

on stone

and telephone cord

connected highway,

I believe in everything

you have to say to me,

I want the truth

to be as beautiful

as you are

but to be as sharp

as a bust of needles

in your likeness,

Fight this feeling

Fight these people

Come with teeth

Come baring all

and in the end

we can stand together in storms

placing wild illusion

next to docile hands

and stroke the hourglass

till time eludes us,

Leaves us

in our space filled grace
