times are changing and i feel stagnant
like a branch stuck to a tree near a gushing river
the throngs brushing past my shoulder
as if i'm being dragged by my eyes leaving the rest of me behind
as if I'm stuck in a single moment like a broken hand on a clock
years pedaling by, wrinkling my skin to prunes yet inside a seed frozen at planting
it's like the world is a 3D museum and I just wasn't given the glasses
like i'm stagnant picture from the 1900's being moved through the album pages- not living the years i'm existing
just existing.
Stagnant, so so stagnant

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

I loved every line of this! The last hit me hard (tbh, the whole poem struck my heart). Nicely done; very well written.
So devastatingly relatable. Those few beginning lines were so jarring and heart-wrenching.
Kind of a sad poem. Stuck and stagnant. Kind of depressing. But extremely well written.
very moving poem, and so relatable!!
