its not up its not down
its not even the middle
its ten minutes into a drive
and needing to piddle
its not good its not bad
its just fucking there
another burden to bare?
a simple not needing to care?
its shallow indifference
a refusing to take part
it comes from the guts
it comes from the heart
its brimming with empty
yet my cup runneth still
it’s a measure of the life
in the times left to kill
And all the frivolous, possibly even superfluous loose ends grin up at me like happy little worms in a bucket. the spirit of the yarn hangs loosely from the fourth wall as reality melts like a Dali clock.
it’s in that melted and malleable moment
the love child of then now and when
it’s everything clever i never said
mixed with a smidge of bush Zen
it’s a susceptible stale freshness
a hesitancy willing
from inebriation to procrastination
i kinda miss the ceaseless spilling
it’s a certain amount of wiggle room
deep inside the illusion
and it’s a certain kind of peace i find
amid this chaos and confusion

I appreciated every line, but those last handful resonated so deeply with me. Loved this :) Great morning to wake up to a new Brenton F piece!
It is very much of poetic.
