maturation chronically induces softer mirth
than silhouetted holdings of the state of youth

no wonder starlings thatch the little sky
imagination spawns suspicion of alignment

are you at this moment indisposed, or is your
pacifier still attached to who you say you are

startling is the act of living in oneself
according to the rumored specs that dictate shells

appeasement's not all it's cracked up to be
merely a phase of quiet that impedes vocal meandering

why not hypothesize while on the routine job
until each crevice seems to have a purpose

each time a person goes into a room with ceilings
higher than the topmost branch, illusion falls

what's your weather like up there
is it still snowing under wheels close to the bed
