Trusting in the sound of my footfalls I wander the kingship of my chagrin, I see all that moves before me, I touch, I breathe, I commune with the silent earth.

Yes. I wrote it.


I see what makes them go.
Invisible hands shape their faces.
Pathetic really, everyone we meet.
Looking for that long-lost something.

My place is here, out of the shuffle.
Observe and interact, besmirch solitude.
Niceties visited, cruelties received.
A moment of praxis. I, resolute.

Dancing above it all, splendorous.
Lying with every breath, every motion.
Your smile gives you away, I'm free again.
Here I sit with empty grin and jaded smile.

Just wondering what it takes to turn that dial.
