the hierophant, the backwards fool, and the emperor
all find justice
together, but just between us
it looks good, for a thin surface
with the image comes its business
no exits on the road to nowhere
not recommended as a starting place
without a stout constitution
only the end of the line
gives the clearest look back
demands of a one-male-review
show-the-dark-parts
the past becomes nothing to cling to
the day he started wearing purple
if the shoes don't fit
shouldn't walk on the broken glass
enhance your ability to dance through it
but don't cut your own toes off
i am my own biggest
challenge to win, opportunity
willing to take alternatives
and biases confirmed
be a student and learn it
earn it
go through more than the motions
high-pressure composer
over the next-day trophies
take one giant, confrontational step back
from people who help me
see the stars and read my ego
open is as open does
sometimes you get dirty
doing the work to get clean
take out the garbage daily
if change is the only constant
everything moves something else
everything moves me
with defensiveness and magnetism
one hell of a shellfish rising
page of cups crushed
within the wheels of fortune
turn the virgin's energy into a berth
when balancing the emotionally extreme
taking his own
seeds through to harvest
grown to be cultivated again
encouraging the vegetation and the bloom
to the greatest potential
only to be ended in an instance
eyes cut from the vine
the brilliance of one man's wishing star
is another's tower moment
