lessons
I try to be reasonable.
I fail often.

I try to not judge others.
I fail alot.

I fight so many aspects of myself.
I fail constantly.

I fail,
but I fight.

...

When you can only see other's faults,
you've lost sight of your own.

Be careful,
it's a dangerous way to live.

...

When it seems I think I've won,
please,
humble me quick.

Help me fight the battle
and I'll do likewise.

7 Months of Dead Air
6 months and 27 days pass like they do
They pass like 4 months and 8 days do
Like every honking SUV wilting the trees on Battery St.

I don't really wait anymore.
It's sleepwalking through another sunset,
Dragging children through a crosswalk marked in bright red lights,
Just about to fuck someone up.
It's living in a world of stomach aches
and wading through acid just to get up and go to work tomorrow.

87 years will pass
like they did 436 years before this one.
I swear I try to remember it's been felt before.
