Dominance

I don't mean to be
crying the way I am
in the middle of Main street
at the corner of 14th,
but I am.

The stars are out tonight
and I think the bright one
near the tree line
could be Jupiter.

It's a cold night
for Spring.  I wish
it was raining
so that I could hide
a little better.

I'm not scared,
but I know they're there,
walking after me and
I'm not scared.
I just want them to go away

forever.  I want starlight
inside me
to burn away the
gallery of freaks and
horse haired things

with lungs like furnace mouths and
hands like wire tied chum.
I don't mean to be
crying the way I am,
walking the double yellows

and falling into the sky,
but my heart is breaking
against the bars of my body cage and
my head is burning to the ground
again and all of it without an answer.

Just a Quote 4

"Even though your heart is kind of small
seems like you're built for something more.
Even though you're kind of weak
seems like you're built for me."

The Cool

Sometimes getting fresh air
blowing across your knuckles
raw feels like the first spring
breeze of the year against
your cheek and everything is okay
for a little while.
For a little while.  The moon
is still high.

I have been
shackling my ankles together
for fear
that if I should
work out my red line
and where it truly lies
I will
take full advantage and
recklessness and devil may care
without understood limits
only works out
in the movies.
Run
run
run
run
run
run.
