keeping up with expectations

idle here
where the world drifts
off into oblivion

The Red Tunnel Slide

A lost memory
an imperfect childhood scene
Falling
from the tunnel slide, you stood over me
waiting for my eyes to
Open
and this,
This is what I’m hanging onto




"The temptation of language is to use as many eloquent words possible, when the least amount of words is to aspire, so that every breath is reconcilliation with the air we pollute."
