Oh Messy Life

fire is motion.
work is repetition.
this is my document.
we are all all we've done.
we are all all we've done.
we are all all defenses.

fire is motion.
is motion growth?

and you are
colder than oldness
could ever be.

and you are
bolder
than buzzing bugs.

my mama said
my cousin bucky's
so boldly bald
cuz he never
took his hat off.
he kept that cap on
even when swimming.

i know there's a lesson
in there somewhere
something nothing
special 'bout boys
who smell like salami
and boys who've never apologized.

and you are colder
than oldness could ever be.
and you are bolder than buzzing bugs.
