into obscurity

why i'll never be
a writer of poetry
or prose is easy

when it comes time to
save the thoughts in my head i
click "delete" instead.

realization:
i will never see the light

summer is over
so now the days just drag on,
on and on and on...

he was twenty year
old boy, who lived with girl in
small Mars colony.

Lighting cigarettes
as the last hover sailboat
made port and anchored.

sense of adventure
defeats standard high jinks of
counting revolutions.

what takes overboard?
watching the Suns rise and set
create and destroy.

i tend to lie when
i say i'm okay, so you

to be anchored to someone
outside of myself.

you weren't worth my time, until
i saw you again.

unfurling below my breasts
and i'll sing them out
