Another bad idea doing a number on the gist of guilt
Of nothing new,
the same old talking points voodoo

On the Shortfalls of Narrative, Part Ii

who makes narratives all the time,

One Way Or the Other

In the Buoy of November
The door is open,
To the month that precedes the year's end,
The curtains have given way,

Of my new found existence.
