Serrated swathes of overwhelming savage gusts without compassion,
directionless dilatory daydreamer that  I am  ostensibly vulnerable,
to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon,
the minimal load  burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter,
meteorological...

to give full explanation, but right here

If you are angry with me 
Or with anyone or everyone
For some (in-)explicable reasons, 
Then, this poem is meant for you!

My basic hypothesis: 
In a moment of anger
There will be choice—almost always.
Choose the best.

My mouth tries to speak my thoughts.
My creative process is buried in the muck.

All people want 
is a stable house
a place to call their "safe" home

I’m tired.
When I say that,

“How much sleep did you get?”
They tell me,
“Go to bed earlier then!”
