Chaos is comfort

The chaos of the unorganized was once my only relaxation
Certain places invoked that comfort than others
I must be growin old
Or I found a new chaos closer to home

Solitary Traveling

They ask me why I travel alone
There are things I learn only
After prolonged silence
Only as I watch a plane lift off of the ground below me
Only after the third hour of the bus ride
Only after my mind has thought all of it's practical thought
And enters into it's daydream

Last weekend
was the weekend of blooms

Spring observations

My mother interupts you while 
You are talking to show
You the blooms of the spring
While u walk together
She points out each color 
In case you missed it
Now I do this too 
I saw an old woman
That looked like a little girl
She had a small pony tail
A satchel
Little legs under a short skirt
But it was her face 
As eager as the first day of school
Ever
To get the best grade
Mr Clark isn't next door 
Anymore
But his chair is
So every time I come home
I think I'm going to talk to him
But he got tired too and found the earth
I put the petal in baby nephew's hand
The color was so bright
He couldn't resist
Even tho it wasn't the big tires on a moving truck 
summer is coming 
I know that's good 

When you left

When you left
It cut like a paper cut that wouldn't heal

Be Here

This is where you always have been.

what if it was alright?

life, all the bads
all the goods
what if it was alright?

what if missing that
brought you this
what if this
made u miss that

what if going slow
made it happen faster
what if rushing
made u pass that by

what if the emptiness
made u fill it up
and the filled
made u run away
to a new paradise

what if the door closed
and the wait was long
so the sun could come out
and u didn't have to wait in the rain

what it if was alright?
