what is the sound of settling?

it is
(despair)
nothingness.

despair smells like your hair
because i can get lost in it
& the aching is warm like your eyes
because i can get lost in them
& the waste is
the waste is
it is the years and the time i have waited
(waited waited waited
waited)
for the
(
the nothing
)
because i can
i could
i did
get lost in them

there is this fear
yes
there is this fear
that the creativity
craft
inspiration
life in art in motion in being
(being carries such
WEIGHT)
&
the ability to be elsewhere
(that where being shoes
being solid earth)
will die
when i pop(!)
the tiny pieces of happy sky in my
mouth
and so i accept this
yes
i accept this fear
of self
& the continued state of being

and
simply put
i am
/
have
/
always will be
shits & giggles
to you, you, you, you
& you -
someone to laugh at
and tell you love
(all in the same moment)
but now
he
or at least he says he does
wants me
loves me
and the other
crawls back
or at least it appears he does
but the fear of that laughter and "loving"
/
the fear of that hurt trumpeting its way
all over again
is constantly
knocking
knocking
knocking
knocking on my fucking door

dodgeball team.

they,
she said,
will make
this all
go away.
a simple idea:
happiness in little blue pills
(a sanctuary i refuse to accept).
and,
she said,
soon the
sadness
grief
complete & utter despair
will fade away.
the joy:
knowing i am free of sadness.
knowing i won't experience it.
knowing i will smile that fake,
pill-perfected smile
knowing
knowing
no,
never really knowing because
never REALLY experiencing
only seeing life through the
orange-tinted pill bottle

i am sick
of the sickness
and the loss
lack
needing
of
you
you
you

today,
a celebration:
a chance to
play dress-up and
hide (my imperfections)
from the fact that i am
alone
and can't seem to
measure up

there is in the
quiet
a single lonely cricket
outside my window
and in us there is a
similarity

the mornings are the hardest:
waking up alone
and struggling to lift the head
knowing the failure,
failure

it is my
sole
responsibiity to clean
the path of destruction
my bitterness has left behind
but the loneliness
is the villain i must fight
at the end of each round

i am i am i am
not paralyzed;
feet need to move
instead of keeping me glued
where i can stare at you for hours

not to worry
the sickness will fade

i realized this morning -
when i woke from that everynight dream
of our hands entertwined
while we strolled a city
where dreams come true -
that it's you i want.
and,
i need to know,
how is it i can still be
in love
with a person i haven't seen
in over a year?

i realized this morning -
when i found the similarities
between each man i've been with since you
and you -
that it's you i want.
and,
i need to know,
is the dream ever going to be a
reality?

there is something celebratory
in the shape of us,
no?
with you,
i could be a superhero.

funny that education has become a
business
and that none of all that dough
seems to go in the pockets of those
who strive to be something more than
the secretary-fucking suits

the pseudo-intellectual in you
does not make the music that
you think it does.
instead it falls a little flat
(or maybe a little sharp
knowing the
dissonant
way you tend to look at things).
and maybe there's a
little bit of beauty
in the way you fake the notes
you just can't seem to hit
but i don't see it.
and forgive me for laughing
at the oh-so-artistic way you dance
but -
the beatnik in you
just can't seem to find
the beat.
but i'll give you some credit
while i toast you with my fiji water
for your valiant effort.

the fact that i write these
poetic rambles
in between customers
(or what we target team members
call "guests")
seems just a little too emo
for my own good.
