Reflection

You might think it's hard to be vain when you're blind,  but he can't see past his own eyes  and he still struts in silk suits  with diamond-colored watches,  and litters his house with gold-framed mirrors  as if to say,   
"If I could see myself, my  wouldn't it be beautiful,  but it would be such a pity  if, then, I had to see you, too."   
He laughs so loud.   
He calls us ugly because  our hands don't curve the right way   
around his neck  are the scars from the Tuesday morning  he decided the world was too  pedestrian  for his splend

Oh DinosaurOh dinosaur, what are you looking for?  You don't belong here any more.   
Oh dinosaur, you are not what you once were--  they've torn your heart out and left you lying on the floor.   
You're standing by the water cooler,  fiddling with your slide ruler  and as the others pass you by  they can't help but wonder why  you're still coming in every day,  and they can't help but look away.   
Your boss comes to speak to you, down by your desk,  and he says to you "Don't you think it's best

Cowboy State of MindA stare into the distance,  a clenching of the fingers  as a show of resistance  to the past that lingers  in the present.  The resentment builds past  the point of geysers and volcanoes  and solidifies into sacrifice.  If we can't escape what we have lived,  then we can ask for forgiveness--  though we haven't sinned--  pin our hearts to the broadside barn,  pump our blood with force of will,  subsist on self-respect  and life continues on.

Tesla's White Pigeon
by ~FlightlessMab
Origami CaravelsOrigami Caravels   
We saw ourselves in Film reel limousines.  
 
In velvet night cloaks studded with rhinestone stars.  
 
Running beneath a black-and-white West Side Sky.   
My huckleberry friend, and I.   
We sailed away on Origami Caravels.   
Paper masts and incandescent sails.  
 
On an inked up sea,  
 
through the windy strait of you-and-me.  
 
Ascending high, into a fruitbowl sky,  
 
on hot-air Cherries, the envy of every fly.  
 
And I remember your sunkissed eyes,  
 
filled with an island paradise.    Origami Caravels

I have walked too far...
Now's the time for feet to rest
And wings to open.

I grok the fullness.

Luminous beings are we,
Not this crude matter.
