that other grace

Post by saw » July 6th, 2015, 7:08 pm

how can I edit my life, where
the hell would I begin
I would surely die before the project was finished

the stained blue eucharist
would look like a neural network of moldy spaghetti
in the brain of a stegosaurus

bumpy roads with sheer cliffs...no
you can't go back in time, excavate the pain
find all the dinosaurs in all the closets

you can't have a relaxed cup of black tea
with a tyrannosaurus- ex....you can't possibly
break bread with your former self

no, you're stuck with the mess you made
the best you can hope for at this juncture
is not to behave like the village idiot

you could attempt to not put your swollen toes
or any other wrinkled body part
in your mouth

it's time to fight for grace, no
not that curvy young woman in the coffee shop
with the religious tattoos all over her body

that other grace
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

I like this. Favorite lines? Has to be these:

you can't have a relaxed cup of black tea
with a tyrannosaurus- ex....you can't possibly
break bread with your former self
The Irish Sea Is Always In Turmoil, Even When Calm.
