One of these streetlights* is not like the other ones.

Oh!

It

 is

motion

sensitive!

That 

makes

perfect

sense.

Nope

Still can’t explain it

that may be true

when I am observing,

or doing,

when I am not 

here right now,

all I think about 

is being in that space

where you live 

now

Full Circle (The Future is The Past, Too)

If I go out of my way

to make this space secular,

and omit every reference 

to God and Genesis 

and all that religious talk,

will you follow me there

If I confessed I used Jesus

to garner interest in this 

hyperbolic, grassroots,

self-fulfilled prophecy 

that is very specific to me,

would you be mad at me

Do you like question marks???

This is Full Circle

Not as pretty 

as I hoped

I would be

but more sincere

than anyone could have possibly imagined 

May As Well Try

I have mentioned this before,

how practiced I am

at calming myself,

my mind,

thoughts,

so easily

put to rest

But today I had 

a full on panic attack 

in my body only

My thoughts serene

and safe

but

my chest

felt too small

to hold the heart 

I’d already put to rest

The disconnect scared me

but my thoughts 

were still

free

I decided

not to crawl 

inside of myself. Instead 

stood in front of everybody

and spoke my mind

until it passed

It worked,

Promise.
