New Reasons

A big thing rolling

For more snipped poetry, read Sticky from Seven Yrs Later. See all Post-its here.

A big thing rolling

Sometimes noble truths

and good ol’ ideas

prevent moving backward.

A big thing rolling

between my bathroom and my bedroom and dwelling

12 notions

that tethered me

arrive aloud

then in

symbiotic silence

How must it feel

as a work in hope

to regularly do great things

convinced they’re normal?

I suppose what makes

naked intelligence

fucking weird

is even the majority

of a first glance

drops depth on me all the time

Cut from Notes to Self:

“What every generation needs are both”

“I’ve been seeing myself for the first time.”

“are they trying to pass as normal?”

“But second, this kid is fucking smart.”
