half way

4

we've come to the end of our tether 

and like george i'm a part of the earth's

rotation, i've never been so scheduled 

you're sandra bullock alright 

you're doing fine, you feel 

like you're going to die all 

the time but you won't, 

at least not yet, not

in space

but 

probably in a retiring home somewhere

or your second born's basement apartment 

the one he originally planned on renting out

until you broke your hip, either that or in the 

lap of your lover, the second after him

my future isn't as bright or grim 

it's the grey in between, history

in progress unsure of the direction

it wants to go with the whole thing

funny, that's the same way

i approach poetry 

i'll die in the middle of a poem,

alright
