sweet new

cold air burns the lungs
that stretch against their bounds,
find sweet new limits

every morning

are you in or out?
pick your battle, choose your side
or simply behold

turn with others

faintly, I thought you'd
pass a world's turn in this place,
but you'd never need

*

rest on your druthers
and know that often, some will
rely on others'

penny I'd

shoulders of giants
make some people taller and
some lose their balance

***

I found a penny
in a puddle near my door
and I left it there.

chin up

excuse my dream state
it has me plum by the chin,
stares me in the eyes

my idea

how did I get here?
I think someone stole my wheels;
my shoe leather's worn

last I checked, you'd gone
made away with my bus pass–
right. my idea.

we saw bears

we saw bears that day
not avenging some lost Might,
no - turning trash cans

***

my world rotated
as rooted nature grabbed hold
of our nostalgia

false limits

imbibe your moments
know of false limits you might
sometimes just ignore
