about

separately and secretly we'll make our way different nights, the same therapist's couch we'll be validated we'll have our egos sated on the basis of differing accounts of the same petty story of betrayal of hard work not getting us our way of trust that's been broken, of promises spoken and when they fall apart, of doling out the blame

have we no shame?

persisted through college on the promises of a generation that left the world for broke now they say "this ain't no place, kid, for anyone creative" and shirk our ambitions like a badly timed joke so we worked out our twenties pushing paper and tracing our reflections in dimly lit screens when they throw us a bone, we take the thing home and with our fingertips, we pick the sucker clean

have we no teeth?

i've been working out some answers here between cross-continental flights but on the weekends we get wasted the drinks blur and then erase them they slip between the cracks of black-spotted nights so I'm trying now to seek out a new peace warm as the sunlight that nourishes the trees sweet as the summer air pregnant with rain scent light as the rustle in the leaves
