Stunned still

Stepping out the door,
immediately I came face
to face w/ a hummingbird,
fluttering at a standstill
& myself rather
stunned___
we simply stared
at
one another___
& after an unmeasurable span
of time it carried on
as if in slow motion, while
backlit by the sun
it transformed into a silhouette
that included the speed
of its wings
in side traveling,
&
I am still___
completely stunned.

Years ago

An old friend, tho
her juvenile tendencies
weren't my thing, went thru
the trouble to see me;
right before leaving the house
she walked out of the bathroom
& exclaimed about its cleanliness,
I casually shrugged & said:
"We're nearly 30.
Isn't it already time to start
acting our age?"___
to which she
replied that she lived w/
two guys & another female, all
of whom she was sleeping w/,
& later (over lunch)
calmly listed out
her STDs___
while I thought:
perhaps
you should
clean
your bathroom,
even tho I know
those weren't caught
from the toilet
seat.

Are the 'sinners' doing right?

What if the law
is the false Christ
we were taught not to worship
in church as we grew to
view ourselves as
adults?

All day, every day

You can look
at the clock, just
to estimate
what is happening
in a day, but it
doesn't matter what
time it is___
you've still gotta wait.

Popping cognitive bubbles

An encompassing plateau
in each___
a riddle of perspectives developed
from what has been reduced
to the power of memory, branched off of
a perpetual will___
that generates the bubble
itself.

Two hour nights

Focus took shift
to hook itself
at the bottom most point
in the belly of
a gulch,
carved by a lifetime's experience,
in order
to subdue the day-mares___
&
I'm ready
to wake up
now.

Go figure

All we do is done
w/ significance, whether
or not aware of each
act, I've seen the proofs___
yet, no fail, feeling
useless & empty
will happen
anyways.

Focus & fear

Coping
w/ near death
in enigmatic illness
didn't leave room
for fighting
& hysterics, only reason
paired w/ what calm
could be gathered,
not to mention
one must grow out of such things
to keep focus on the vitals,
but I was surprised
when the threat of a gun
aimed at my head
turned into a moment
in which I didn't feel afraid___
& that is what truly
scared me.

Just to be

Scream

everything
into
nothing
&
nothing
into
everything

w/out opening my mouth.
