When I close my eyes and reach for the wall
When my presence disappears
{this is now}
{this is now}
{this is now}
{this is now}
Know I am strong –
feet solid on my board
synapse surfing eye to eye with the Great
White inside
You may think I touch to please
To play\for(e) me, for you
{i forgive you for this privileged thought, only if you commit
to its demise. Otherwise the sticky white of greatness
will spawn in us both – unmistakably alive}
I am memorizing your body;
Curves, Fuzzies
Smile lines
Sound buttons
Dimples
Angles of bones
Strength of boner
Uwinding my synapse
To paint a new memory
A now memory
The only memory with the HU\mility I pine for
to bring me to my knees
The one-at-a-time memory I make with
my present and accountable
my standard – HU\man
