 to seeking
 to
 walking home vaugely empty.
 
 I say, "This is my initiation
 as the trappings of maturity
 wrap me in an extra glittery present
 with a lead and pink bow."
 
 only days and (sliding) together
 Like wicker-basket strings into wicker basket
 things
 how is your life?  where is the weather?
 what did we do to the swirling nether?
 why do I try without any wings?
 we say these and more troubling things.
 
 time to wait and time to churn
 sit back and try to learn
 how to fill a sea with red hot ice.
 
 yes, yes it would be.  it would be nice.
