the second recipro.city

how unusual to give the attention 

undivided like an orange like 

a planet like the wheels that drive an engine 

in this our post-industrial society

specialization so refined the mouth 

has no relation to the belly

crisp like apples like childhood

i still like apples when they are crisp and cool and fresh, i like biting into them and the taste, it seems unlike life, which is a drag across the cold and hard face of a clock... when i catch an heirloom kinda apple in the palm of my hand it always fits, perfect like a baseball but better cause it's unprocessed, more like childhood when the skin needs no astringent and all the body is firm and thoughts are clear and waking up is fresh and new and motivation is natural and intention pure    - K

love. recklessly

Love your life

recklessly

like a spire 

in the air

past some meddlin 

point of 

despair

like you 

don'even 

care

Love yourself 

in the morning

all scraggled your hair

yawnin before coffee

and meds

kickin in

Love your life

 at night 

when you 

can'even 

see

 in haystacks

    drunken alleys 

and trees

 wall to wall

rolling wheels 

of cheese

 second 

to loving

no'one else

   dreamin

haunted

up to no good 

at all

in mirrors

fancy clothes

long halls

in waders

rising up

jumpers

the fish

on your

 knees

Love your life

in cups

straight up 

with no chaser

bent stemming cherries

an shaken

an stirred

collapsed 

like umbrellas

When it rains outside

the mayhem 

behind locked doors

open but screened

walled up within

thirstin for light

dreamin of pinups

and ticker tape 

parades

pregnant with life

in floods and capris

glasses and ice flashes

in the sun

rooftop flashing

the sky for a 

sign

embracing your feedback loop parfait

There are days here and there where i really don't care for myself, i mean, who i've become and what life has put me through does not appeal to any old romantic self imaginings. Thinking about it won't change anything. All i can do is push on and try and kick ass today. Then i can feel good about myself. I wish you all the best, also, in embracing all of who you are, including the part of you that might be reclusive, antisocial, stubborn, emotional, scared, especially scared, lazy, unfriendly sometimes, even downright stupid or mean. So long as you go back and try to mend any harms. To yourself may you be a friend today. Push on and kick ass into tomorrow.
