Ex-cream-mint

Reil Exce Rosanjelix 1970 (Portland, OR)



Sleeping on the night while I
  stayed awake,
  contemplating my navel high as the sky,
  simple and assertive looking up words takes,
  time is a frivolous anecdote, why?

What comes to one is not to
  another,
  the sum of all equals is
  unknown
  changes, evolution and eve
  tried to cover,
  feeling like were still missing
  the grown.

Hit the beach after dark
   away from lights,
   sit and think about the lid on
   this thing,
   compare your life to the
   finest civil rights,
   know why spirit of life's
   whistling dixie?

About this poem

What more can tell me what I want you to say if and when another person asks my life. To size up the gap between me and her and you and them and then, is just pretend. I like people who are reel, factual, proven, honest, disciplined, empowered, enlightened, upon us, and Mystic. Do I have anything to add? Pick up where I left off, and come find me. more…
