hallway conspiracy


remember when you walked
in this body ashamed
can't recall when that went away
definitely rooted in both
past and present
future expands under heavy rain
'exploding snow' Kerouac saw
a sight unseen
a dragon emerges from sheep's wool
fiery torches melt white purity
and unheard prayers
deep whispers and wheels still spinning
cracking as heated icebergs
survive august still
a shell of a man
walking toward block seventeen
under the shield of air
sitting while words
in the hallway conspire...
