Here I sit

on a hot park bench

with wooden splinters

stabbing my point of contact

 

scraping ideas and possibilities together

like two sticks

trying to light a fire

in my primitive mind

 

...I'd make a lousy caveman.

 

Communication shouldn't have to be such a struggle.

 

I could just draw a stick-man,

and a stick-buffalo

on a cave wall,

 

but ...

 

thirty-thousand years

would have to pass

for someone to take notice.

 

why is it I would want to talk

to you anyhow?

 

What are you to me?

 

Hell...

you're not even real.

 

You're just a figment

on a wall

in my mind-cave.

 

I made you in my image

like some voo-doo doll

to do things to

symbolically

 

that I'm too afraid

to do and feel myself.

 

Why subject

myself to the deep-end,

when I can project onto you

everything I fear?

 

Seems shallow

 

standing in water

ankle-high

while looking out

into

an ocean that can reach out

and grasp the horizon...

 

what's it's elusive secret?

 

Water...

 

It composes my flesh,

my evolution,

my womb experience...

 

I feel pulled like the tide

dragged by the fullness of moons

toward depths

to drown myself…

 

And there's nothing to lose…

 

 

because

 

I'm just a salt-doll

shaking off it's hex.
