Off Another Cuff

Interested?

only in the falling off and floating,
watching as the clouds pass by
and
if the sky is blue and only blue
why then am I happy
seeing you in tangerine?

dreams of psychedelic because
I'm somewhat of a relic
thrown forward from some
bygone time.

No one reads the signs and yet
wonder why they're lost.

Interested?
not at the cost of
appearing so.

It is sad to lose our young to war. It is good that you honor the living and the dead for there tremendous sacrifice.
