Living Lie/f

Apr5

I sit on a chair

and I really think I don’t care

About being alive

Cause I suck at living a life,

but I’m great at living a lie.

Paths

Apr4

So quick to push the dead end truth into the neighbours’ garden

to walk the merry go round as it spins
upside down hanging from cloud strings
begging to snap
the seams of clean linen on the line.
oh, you don’t want to go this way, do you?

Calm Frenzy

Apr1

Grey problematic areas can mean the darkness of it all. Rainbow rams your orange cream smile into tea cups that sparkle salt into raw eyesight. Crayon water, it’s how jellyfish paint at the bottom of the Artic waters.

Sunner

Mar31

Sun blows itself onto my hair strands,
I am peace and I am wild.
Goose me more rays and I’ll pull down the whole sun. Just to feel that glow so easily won.

Hurrycane

Mar25

I pocket brandy and scotch in stained glass vials. So breakable they’ll make my pockets drunk.
I’m volatile sugar.
I’m oatmeal in the sand.
You call for me at any night time hurricane,

I’ll be there to slow the spin

It’s Aboat Time

Mar20

I got royal in my ships
and cute spiders in my sails.
I don’t need a bucket list
when I have a hundred pails.

How many does it take,
to add water back to sea?
I’m not sinking just yet,
but I think I wanna be.

Kind Gesture

Mar16

A man and I were walking towards the Tim Hortons doors. He got there before me and stepped around the door, holding it open and waited till I got closer. Thank you my teeth grin and sometimes there is the second door and I’m already thinking of it when I see him do the first door spin thing. So I pull the handle on the second door and I step aside and hold it wide and I look up at him because my shoes aren’t as interesting as someone I’ve looked in the eyes not more then once, and he slow moes in my head as his eyes crinkle out his smile and the look of trained hesitancy follows suit even though he’s wearing steel toed boots and a grey streaked pullover. I almost think he’s going to swear out a thank you, his gleam looks that excited.
He enters the store and he steps aside, and turns to me and says, ” You go ahead’, and my heart chuckles and I do step ahead.
I order. He orders shortly after at the next cashier. Maybe the employees had to go to the grocery store to get the bacon for my order.I ordered two things. His order is done before mine and his hands have 7 different cups as he is headed towards the exit. I slant forward quickly and I push that exit door open and I swing around with fresh, and I look him in the eyes and I say ” I don’t need the last laugh, I prefer the last kindness. Now you go and distribute.” And there are smiles the size of the Grand Canyon as we walk our way out of each other’s physical realm.

Little big smalls to take across the board of your day.

Your Platinum Maneuvers

Mar15

To hold my head
under water running,
to teach me that to strain against flow

is the watered down epitome

of self destruct.
Self sabotage.
Self infliction.

Delight

Mar8

Well if I was the rainbow dressed in feathers and glue, I’d probably stick up for the gold, and undo a shoe.
It always happens like this, getting the quotes in up for sale. People making money off starting a trail.

I delight in a lot of my own being, but what happens when I realize it’s too little of you-ing and too much of me-ing.

There’s a balance to be kept, to keep the raft afloat, but do I dip too far forward and forget that I have hope?

Don’t mind me, but do. I am the type of person that’ll find your niche and your canoe. I know waves and I know water, teach me your swim and I’ll call you father.
