Chess rooks.
Knights.
Movement in
X and Y axis.
Checkers.
Rookies.
Convenience in
Flagging taxis.
Movement based on attitude.
Movement based on self-discipline.
Movement based from within.
Movement based on cue.
Convenience based on itself.
Convenience based without.
Convenience will be calling.
Movement will be waiting.
The choice is up to you.
Too many people don't do this.
Too many people don't do it that way.
Too many people are like that.
Too many people are not like that.
Too many people don't fit inside your room,
or your mirror,
or your head,
or your thoughts,
or your steps,
or your heart.
You are not too many people.
(Too many people don't realize that.)
Keep going.
Torrential downpour
Thoughts down his brow
The wind swirled within
Questions
Words that began with how
How..
How he'd give anything
To turn the wheel the other way
Take one more breath before
Goodbye
How he'd tell one more story
One more chapter before
Goodnight
How he'd stop the song
And speak his mind
Explain he wants to know her
Why
Why would anyone choose
Her
Questions would anyone stay
For her
Thoughts rained down
Lungs heaving
Pouring sweat
Monkey see.
Monkey do.
Tilted chins.
Strained necks.
Wrists turned out.
Elbows bent.
We live inside our screens.
For the next
Email.
Text.
Tweet sent.
"But it's important..."
"But what if..."
"But I need to be connected.."
"But.."
Monkey see.
Monkey do.
Do you?
