reality consideration


it may be one of the only ways
he can stay relaxed unwind
and not get hurt in the process
only sword he carries is this pen
one hundred percent most of the time
brand new bandana
pulled down over an extra large forehead
around four years of knotted hair
it'll keep him sane despite all the rain
two and a half hours and everything seems the same
so much for taking photos of the dawn
the rain has ruined that idea
before it actually becomes a reality
consideration and the wind tonight
rattles the windows of the porch
where he sits wondering what the sky
looks like high above the storm
start it one day and finish it the next
only minutes apart when reality is given proper
consideration and cross-eyed tired and dreaming
of stars on the new moon auspicious
to the newest member of the family
born into this world on a seven
the reality of still life on the porch
becomes a consideration once the ground
is completely saturated and morning
remains anticipated...
