Analysis of On planet J35U5
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Who’s to blame?
Unimaginably complex
DNA confusion
What started this ball rolling
and got this
catastrophic wave in motion.
Set us upon
a collision course with destiny,
brought about this...
Chain reaction of events
we are being swept into
Like clouds
are drawn forth by wind
Do you ever, even wonder
how did this all began?
As we do daily compromise
the integrity between us
Our damage control teams
are professional
Adaptive and concerned.
Just that our coping strategies
are not always compatible,
To get us through
the spam of events
we share inadvertently
In our day to day lives
that show we really are
Capable, intact...
In fact, on tract
Enlightened individuals,
awakened to a loving sanity
we care about the ones
we claim, to love,
good thing the sun
doesn’t have to figure
out when to shine.
The moon rides its tract
held in its place since birth,
having an influence,
no doubt
by virtue of delicate balance
in orbit around the earth.
Who gave it reason
to turn the tides?
There is no Conditional reality
between you and i
Despite, the fact when we follow
our assigned tasks Through,
currently, we see them differently
And too…
the basis of methodology
of pursuit Are as varied as our views.
That we entertain
notions of compliance,
becoming mutually reliant
Even, while in defiance
against conventional wisdom
Is remarkable...
Beyond the intellectual hurtles
Are the emotional undercurrents
upon which we define our boundaries
between friend and foe...
How we keep our friends,
just close enough
to keep one another company,
undefined, yet still aligned,
for purposes known and unknown
A fraternal bond which may?
Or may not ever Be explored,
further than at present
Hopefully, not to be taken,
too far beyond The breaking point
to be naturally restored
or fading so far back into obscurity
below the threshold
of the more familiar background noise
Comfort zones we adjust to
when we have
one another full time
You ask me?
What in the name of heaven
Makes me tic-toc, talk, and walk
And why do... I do the things i do
The way i do and do not do on time
What you might do
when and if you are so inclined
You ask me if i even care
i shrug my shoulders
And gently make gestures
of bewilderment
Pray tell... When i have
that answer
You'll be among
the first to know
After i do the math
front, back and sideways
To ensure it is always the truth...
It's said, there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
Just when,
will we see?
