this morning
another mourning
the dawn done
a slanted sky
a scant sun
a cloud just there
in its way in its shine
another cold
mourning in America
feels cold a front
a low front feels
like twilight
like why lie
this flag feels like a fog
this day feels dark
standing here shivering
and night is near

constantly bodily aware
is the continuing condition
of aging upward forward
toward tomorrow in time

younger never was so glad
to be as young as then
older never will be near
as limber as it feels when

leaning into more life
lived and lost and more
or less lived fully will it
know it how it felt

it's alright to not know
anything
about why this is happening
about why that is happening
about what may happen when or could happen when or couldn't because or almost did but didn't
but imagine if

it's alright
to not know
anything about now
when there's so much
to not know anything
about next

I put on RoboCop again and realized that I find it increasingly less funny the older I get because of how accurately it predicted where America was going. What I’m fixing on tonight is how the corporation that runs the police made a certain executive immune to RoboCop’s enforcement ability.

I reckon not too often
yet often enough or rather
too often to not be enough
to reckon what it really means
to reckon when I oughta
not reckon at all and
regard it all instead
I reckon

want to see something unusual?
look around:
every single thing
in this world is unusual.
there is no thing,
if you really look at it
look at it closely
with real care and real focus
and for long enough,
that is not unusual.
and isn't that the most unusual thing in the world?
