Laconia

This man is intermittently rocking against
The thin interior body panel of the bus
My knee feels his every motion
It seems as if he just can't get settled
Something in his life leaves him restless 

He's dressed for contracting labor
His fleece jacket is immaculate his cap
Sports a jungle foliage pattern
Done over in a muted gray and brown color scheme
The label on the adjusting band reads "Yankees"

He coughs the cough of a drywall installer
The outer lobes of his ears seem to have particles blasted into them
He occasionally looks out the window
Then his gaze trails down to his lap

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
