A city is a whole despite itself
as the whole of this poem
breaks the page
and the broken page
holds the poem together
A city cannot contain
what its minds cannot contain
and some minds are dark to themselves
as this unlit street
is dark to hide the dark
and everything else
keeps to its glowing windows
Cities and poems
read according to historyā
black type, white page
white type, black pageā
Which way does it go?
A shoreline rind
holding its bloated segments
by the veiny pith
a poem stuck between the teeth
Walking bodies
floating on shallow skin
A city, a poem
a person shrinking within
leaving enough room to feel
its shriveled edges
Waves break against the shore
swallowing the city whole
Can you hear the page breaking?

I have a tendency to connect to people on different wavelengths and spectrums. I have a marvelous idea to write a Lifestyle Advice Column!!!! A way to bridge to gap between young adults getting their lives together and ADULTS who ain’t got it together yet. Advice on love,family,maturity,friendship,recipes,politics, and ,spirituality.
