...in good time

y’know,  for normal people i figure just one forward slash is enough;

but by now mine probably looks something like this: <////////////////////////////////////3

am i crazy for thinking that someday she’ll come around?

lost between extremes,

the middle ground a forest

with the most pathetic canopy I’ve seen.

moon and sunbeam sneak through

but rain is no exception. providing,

if nothing else, a sense of security;

— which I’d happily trade

to make things more apparent. 

I couldn’t sit still,

so I got up.

I looked around

and only you were there.

finally I’m awake,

but I still can’t find

the thousand other faces

happier to see me. 

and then i lied,

and i’ve hence sworn 

to hesitate,

lest i lead.

turn, they’ll all turn—

but i won’t.

my earth is flat

the whole way round,

and that ‘s not changed 

since

you’ve been gone. 

the laggard at his pace:

spoke in a larger wheel,

see’s more of the world

Shy. One is not simply,
One is not but one;
One is o
One is n
One is e
One is just one combination of the three.

a head on both is not

a head on either.

just the one on both will serve better.

1 in 100 drops:

that’s cruel Luck, that day,

though fore i that 1—

I’d not survived by grace of Luck

today.
