Elucidating Questions

Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain I said as I pulled away the drapes and revealed the Ides of March.

No mind was made outloud.

Painfully aware of the noise inside my own head the tick tock

Ding ding ding

Jackhammering inside of my head

I wondered what they said behind the walls.

I started singing about meeting a bear a bear up there

I found Ursa Major and Minor, when I couldn’t find them in the sky.

I searched high and higher and higher into the sky for the man and his dog

A hint here a sign there

We passed no less than

Three men and their dogs

The buildings obscured my view.

Found an adventure to be had in a place unknown in a straight line one way and a straight line back.

Arrived at tired near the parc, and came back to Orpheus

I howled at the moon with a friend

Well the lack of the moon

And the sun

Howled at the bluish black thing

Seeing more adventure with less stars

I put my headphones on and go

I didn’t have my headphones but they had me anyway

Skating children skating adult children

So much talent so much grace so much

I wish I could fill them with every bit of how much I love them and it would carry them all to a golden chalice on weightless wings

Alas, a competition requires losers.

They’ll win no matter what to me.
