stay cool
stay moving
return to the breath
twice a day, at random, say “non attachment”
realize you’re seeing things as you are
but there are ways around that
should you
need
New Year’s Eve pt. 5
new year's eve
New Year’s Eve pt. 4
when i found you
your eyes were spotlights burned
against the background of the night
your level face a row of strings
and banners, flags of light
captured as a camera might
you stayed that way until morning
New Year’s Eve pt. 3
they bump and crawl like
so many these days
inch and inch and
occupy and wait
furrowed brows in the crowd
create desire paths
when followed
through gifted wakes
New Year’s Eve pt.2
the air will lift the last of the atmosphere up
track it with your eyes
into the slate gray wild
and mark the underside
everything that remains
will be on sale.
the counterweight is a memory
that pushes down on the arc
the world buckles
and is spied on both sides
New Year’s Eve pt. 1
cameras pan over crowds
transmitting in desperation
the cheers and music
the frenzy of change
is a peacekeeper
for most
what better way to teach us manners
than blinders?
