The soy and Tiger’s Milk will not save you here
it is time for you to start thinking about what you left
beyond the bones and blood
and your reflection on your most recent past
your evasion of reality
your money
your stop signsI will not deny my complete failure that brought us together
my bike
my jousting with herds of steel buffaloes
my presence I commanded on the sidewalk
my full speed vulnerability
my full speed break in the chain
But if you decide to fall
turn your body into the fall
do not try to out do the inevitable
that you will be on your back staring into the sun
Let this be
Like the inevitable phone call
let this be a reminder that there are so many things to do still
like lose your job and convince your love
that you have lost your anger
that you have lost your absence
