Leftovers

My work is separate from me just like my past moves and bowels.

I'm embodied in the melody that invigorates. Invisible extensions of my being in a three-four-step or a one-two-punch. It's the rhythmic choices that immediately define me, not the leftovers I find places to store after the needle spins off track.

I am the constipated struggle.

Them and They

It's harder to find words when you're sober. Blurry moments persuade inhibition. Well, if I regret would it excuse?

The questionably evil, multi-purposed, and anonymous "they" always tell me that I'm not just here to learn about wetland ecology and sustainable development. They tell me that more importantly than anything I might come across in my studies of American political thought, that I'm here to prepare for a stupidly real world. The same one that they've been threatening to toss me into unprepared for like 21 years.

I dunno, they always turn out to be pretty insightful somehow.

I'm learning a lot about relationships. About pitfalls and venom. All the things that had looked pretty hard to trigger from the third person, but I guess it ultimately comes down to experience rather than knowledge.
