The anger twin triplets
Righteous, unruly having fun
Brother Impotent and Sister Frustrated
Looking on, over my shoulder
Can’t quite work out my silence as
They tune into my thoughts

Sometimes
And it happens far too often
I am walking somewhere
Thinking of so many possible outcomes
Abstract and mundane,
Deep (like you need an oxygen tank)
And shallow (welcome back to the baby pool)
(Fuck I digress, sorry)

Sometimes
And it happens far too often
I am walking somewhere
And I suddenly think
I love this person who takes up a great deal of my waking life
But …

But what!?
Roar the Curious Immortals

Hang on I am getting there

I find myself folding
Dull paper like
The inside of fancy present wrapping
Off white meaningless
Smaller on the inside

I am disenchanted
Disrupted
Dissolved

And then I sit down,
(A bit blown away to be honest, gutted even)
And then I think of all the important moments
Moments shared
Glorious moments
And I realize

Come on, you know and I know and they know and we know
(And yes it may take a small while) that
The fuel of affection
The energy that infatuation fed
‘Til crush turned to forever glow
May not always be enough

Can betrayal be so insidious?
That no-one knows they’re doing it?

We push and we push
And finally the fall

And I understand you, Gods of Anger
But you are self defeating after all

I always knew the silence of our natures
Would cruelly compete against
The wonder and the possible
And win eventually

Probably wrote it in a poem
In a scrapbook
Left in car
Driven by a guy who picked me up hitching
From back then to right now
