Quite

Affected by affectation, our protagonist stumbles,
per your expectations
winsome is loss-filled 
in this toothy bile
and after our stomachs turn back over
we can examine what must have gone into this.

Brilliance is a wish to ascend
beyond pain
according to psy-
ecology;
jammed with peanut butter roofing
this old mouth is like a kid again
stuck to itself
unaware of how this prison
keeps the lights on 
and the bars tight.

Ask for certainty
get an explanation
special delivery 
fleece accords 
sheep and the former landscape
native grass and the uncut life
aphorisms demand their hearing.

Discomfort and the journal:
we might come together
we might not
into the clouds 
greyness buries itself
and we are there too
and I is a little bit of us
and parts of speech
are shattered into constituent
non-voting parts.
