One born to greatness is oft ill-fated
His swift denouement unanticipated
All the advantages repudiated
~ by his own dagger eviscerated
Not as easy as
being a passenger
post 9/11.
And my own towers
fallen now
because of
unanticipated
consequences.
Without flavor
and excitement
I fear boredom
Which was my
doom and I
try to un-glue
these poisoned
piece.

Six people confessed to the murders of four.
Police detectives were consternated.
This many confessions had never happened before.
This was totally unanticipated.
Other homeless people lined the police station door.
Police said “Now, these jail cells are overrated.”
In a week the confessions numbered twenty-four.
Free room and board for all those who participated.
that crab nip
upon fingertips
as sunlight tilts his hat
and nighttime makes his start
drinking liquid
from the passing breeze
unanticipated tremble of the knees
Squawked yawn as seagull retires
and sound swathes
its way
through quicksand air
Slip your chill
past neckline
nomadic course down spine
Wrap your silk cotton
darkness around
safe but unsound
unfound
I’ve been patient
I’ve sat here,
And waited.
I’ve given you the best of all my tomorrows.
The thing is..
I haven’t even met you yet.
And I wait here,
A fool. The hopeless romantic.
For the girl I may never get.
Who some say, doesn’t even exist.
Maybe you do,
Maybe you don’t,
But, all I know..
Is that I would walk into the abyss, with no sense of direction,
For a chance to love you.
Age and circumstance conspire
As the will waffles
Beneath the weight
Of the unanticipated
Present
A gift
They called it
This aging thing
A crumpled box
Found in the dark corner
Of forgetfulness
The softening
Of the delicious
Into the bruised torment
Of a long-forgotten season
And yet
The core contains it all
Accepts the circumstance
Defies the conspirator
Knowing that age
Is but time’s tempering tool
cooling its perfection
A world full of wonder, yet so small
Uncontrollable, inevitable, fantastical
Dashed in a single waking moment
Unanticipated, complicated, dissipated
Close to the heart, a guarded secret
Defensive, sensitive, subjective
Locked away, it dies
Unresponsive, inactive, unproductive
Yet unleashed, it thrives
Progressive, excessive, receptive
The fragility of dreams
Elusive. Impulsive. Creative.
