Give that poor room a boy
one that will brighten the walls
and wave lightly at the trim
revealing a glimpse of something extra
There was a singing comet passing over
at the same time I split the sentence
that I felt feelings for the first time
in a long while
A shadow stalking the dimensions we shed
laying awake while sleep commands
that the room be all black but moonlight
in a powerpoint presentation
The carpet sheds bed bugs I think
while dust mites collect into balls
that my grandmother would surely dissaprove of
in a ripe age waiting for the finals
I take part in the appreciation of small things now
like
when there's a bathroom conveniently
located in a movie theater
so you don't have to miss too much of the movie
or when
your friend decides it's high time
to settle his debt with you
when you both are washing brain cells at the bar
better yet
I love the way when I forget what the stars are
until by happen stance I may decide to look up
and all of life's problems melt in the stratus
while galatic stress is done away by the gravity
of endless existence of been there, done that
In life I really just wish to mutter
I'm lonely
and not have to deal with the stares
or the exclamations of people saying they're there for you
When people say I'm lonely
I nod in agreement
while maybe offering that
when you finally find yourself
a loneliness may recede
The poor room is a hard art
a faulty vessal where you, the operator
must make the equation equal out
before subtraction subdues you
Subtraction Subdued
The end is near, and grandma had a power point about those dust balls and mites. We hunt them down, taxidermy them, and post them on walls like animals. Damn this was a good poem, your style is evolving into something else, something neat and concise and contemporary - enjoyed each surprising line. - Lady A
