nothing concluded 157

once so random journal
takes on a voice
of it's own no dread
left on top
back from the beginning

as good a place
as any to begin
again over twice
as fast as when it's
warm to the bone

quite the opposite from
how the saying goes
then again
everyone fell for the lie
down into the pit

where nothing is even
noticed never mind concluded
the same place
where the dog somehow
finds some rest

he grinds his teeth
and has resorted
to long nights
on the back porch
alone with so much thought

very little to say
the sound of rain
can be heard out the window
another silent night
nothing concluded

as if December
and every one is Christian
do they even know
what they believe
inside out searching

nothing concluded
ten ten
oh five
need to stop
using the crutch...

a triangular hour approaches

just to make a point
he'll walk away with his head in the air
pulled through the water at times
ending up with more smoke
than intended and darkness takes over
earlier than any day yet
the rain soaked afternoon
twisted the five o'clock sky
a little pink a little orange
around the triangular hour
talks of darkness overcome
with the grim reality this night
would bring if it could but
it exists only as the background
for all experiences

just to make a point

he will stick out his foot
when you walk by watch out
he doesn't care what initials
your name has he knows the real JC
tough guy

just to make a point

without proving anything
at all costs trying to save face
just like the rest the hour
of one hundred eighty degrees
passed out around
seven now it's nearly ten
but soon it will be four and twenty
all over again

just to make a point

no one thinks it can be done
after nearly fourteen years
just like that it could be done
and who would hold up a red
octagon and it's a good thing
geometry was taught when it was
else he might never know

just to make a point

he grabs the purple pack
and grinder he knows
it's ten thirty but there is something
about the fingerprint on a page
makes the need to investigate imperative
not to mention unavoidable
from where he stands...
