The Usual

 The usual 


we’re dying 

I thought you knew that 

did you forget when 

you went to work depressed


we’re dying 

and we don’t know exactly 

what it means but it should

give us reason to pause


and reflect on meaning 

in this dailyness 

how we treat ourselves 

and each other 


we’re dying like everyone 

who’s come before and left 

writing a word or a line 

or better yet


cleaning 

up 

after 

ourselves

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
