    glass stones

    High brow,
    high tower,
    high people. 
    
    
    A grass fed,
    half-cocked, 
    cockamamie conjecture. 
    
    
    10,000 hours 
    so I know what I’m doing. 
    Shiny metal belt;
    leather hypersexual. 
    
    
    Hints to a treasure
    like steam
    wafting to 
    dogshit. 
    
  • Benched

    The bench spoke to me. 
    I waited so long: 
    the daily walks,
    the nervous glances,
     - hoping. 
    I made excuses, 
    now thinking about it, 
    to walk by. 
    Deluding myself to believe.
    
    No,
    
    I do like walking.
    
    I do like that bench.
     
    Around and around
    that gnarly,
    blood-footed path.
    
    And then
    sat, 
    
    “please leave“ it requested. 
    An underwhelming introduction, 
    but 
    chills and flutters
    still. 
    I walk on.
