off like a… Notes from the Dead Letter Office

sharpening snakes with baby’s breath
the slings and arrows, children to adults
head turns, looking back cloaked with experience
but it really doesn’t get any better
than what we have
i am sleeping fighting off wereleaches
these dreams no longer nightmares
just ideas
just visions
just whatever we make of it
I am a stationary nomad.
I can’t stop thinking about…
the could have beens
keeps me up at night
as i shiver in the heat
but these moments pass
between the thing that have to happen
I guess
the number 2
questionable
what if one and one doesn’t want to be lumped together
you have no sum
just one and one, separate
