when attitude writes its own novel

when attitude writes its own novel

 

 

 

you are superfluous surroundings

a vocabulary of pretentious imagination

i am just a poor sentence of dejected adjectives

 

semantic clutter

 

silenced by your projected prepositions

as you advance by me in a small crowd

and my interjection spits back in the wind

like a burnt snowflake

 

thought i saw love in your theory

but the balance of your equation

is a leftover quotient in my bank of endeavor

 

and i can't seem to divide you from your self

so i will just move on to a more comfortable clause

with words of more humble illusion

 

and follow them to wherever 

you aren't...

Attitude, indeed. There's a feisty nature to this that really pushes the narrative forward. Excellent write, excellent read, J.
