it’s intentional,

what we do and what we say,

to harm another.

 

I still don’t get it,

this need to capture, to keep,

what are we proving?

 

my doppleganger,

can be blamed for whatever

you assume I did.

 

there is no such thing,

but, no one ever promised

you that it would be.

 

there are days when the

best that you can hope for is

a near by off ramp.

 

Don’t say, “I don’t know.”

so you won’t have to be wrong.

Like questions,

there are no stupid answers.

 

my thoughts, bulleted,

endlessly I organize,

things I never do.

 

a gift, undeserved,

the power to demonstrate

the unexpected.

 

a shooter, or the

number of the Beast they say,

an inverted nine?

 

the cause, something pulled,

that button someone pushes,

to get a response.

 

Sorry, you’re not my …

so, what exactly is your …

do you stereo …

 

no … is not like some …

and any … ‘s indecisive,

be … ‘s homophonic.

I’m stuck in Neutral,

let out the clutch, give it gas,

I still go nowhere.

Life is not automatic.

You have to put it in gear.
