slow drifting dream daze
induced sobriety cuts through chemical haze
futuristic floating down swollen concrete river
looks at hands feeling fleeting sliver of reminiscence
curious sniffle at flying by flocks
or swarm of foulness bathed in time
carefully treading past ancestral remains
never instant knowing distant
remembrances retained

sod and sweat bespeckled brow
toil and turf, trim, bespectacled now
going through the motions of momentum
shrugging off emotions and placenta
idealistic craving, loss mirrors achievement
downtrodden jokes at my expense
restraint bites painfully at enjoyment
destiny deals a handful of discontent
feel the flow of fullness
break the chains of dullness
become what you desire
