Be Like Lot
Carving out some
solitude, for
fortunes have
weighed against me
recently.
Tracking life's
linear roots to a
place just beneath
me.
Graced with our
unwritten moral
code, and bracing
for any violent
onslaught that may
invade my personal
space between now
and the near future.
Slicing up some
thick thoughts.
After sounds trade
my mind for sketches
and jots.
A blatant repulsion
of all things.
Disregarding bits
and pieces of the
whole as i dwell on
an entire field of
feeling.
Soaking in Sun's big
gift.
Drifting in and out
of minutes and pit
stops.
Under-conscious,
frankly, less
driven.
It's this place.
It's my face.
It's this hazed over
valley and this
state of ignorant
souls.
It's my late claim
of bitter taste.
But a simple answer
does await.
Pack up all your
thoughts.
Now, leave, and be
like Lot.
Don't move your
neck, don't turn
your head, for upon
you finally lay that
violent onslaught.
