The Drift
Ignorance and
Cellular memory
I dare not write it
I live it, rather
I am pointed steadfast
Energy made kinetic
Blind fury made elastic
And what would fall
Cascading, into the cracks
Of that concrete path, time stained
Ruptured by slow but persistent
Roots of ambivalent nature
A sensory lesson in blind aperture
Why, the streets are painted
Not with oil, but light
Scattered spectrum
Emancipated and liquified
The path of leaves their crucible
The destination pretentious and upseting
Dammit; the engine died
Turn over, choke splutter
Anxiety quelling in my knees
A lie come forth of nothing more
Than vanity's pregnant breath
So that I may repent, nay learn.
Mitosis, division
The ephemeral creation
Stored function
(You know what I mean)
How…how does it bleed out
How are memories made tactile and glacial?
The cell, the cell, the cell.
