Chemtrails

clocking out

By Jeff BrandtPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A smile without explanation

Her chemtrails lead me to something

A somewhat shy sensation

It surfaced while we were laughing

A comfortable revelation

Brought to mingle with my teased eagerness

Cursory and a rather free evaluation

Her knowledge should not scare me

For I don't know what I'll come to see

Easiness it's just to easy

Yet again nature is dangerous

Her navigation isn't breezy

Rather crude at times hardly advantageous

I'll send her my concern and undying apologies

Like stutters in a congested mind

I dislike these vagaries

My words are complied and crushed like orange rind

I am but the zest of an aperitif

I see her off and goodnight

Into his arms a lovers relief

I don't mind that I've lost the good fight

My loyalty has betrayed me and left me alone

So it goes, her glimpses into my heart landed home

I have grown bunions on my toes

Walking this journey of within, so it shows

I put the cart ahead of the horse it won't go

Sometimes I feel so indefatigable.
