School of Life Detention

 School of Life Detention


Sometimes you 

think you’re done 

when you’re not 

fault lines emerge from the plot 


other times it’s over 

before it’s begun 

rhymes can’t fire 

it’s no one else’s fault 


silver lining’s 

there in the sky

dancing around

its own outlines 


from a distance 

things make more sense 

reversals and tragedies 

embroidered in the silk 


silver haired children 

battle switching sides 

moving bodies 

like cattle in a drive 


to feel that joy 

one more time 

in the school 

of just being of alive

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
