Humility comes walking to me…a stranger

and I’m no longer waiting with welcome at the door

I fall over myself with honesty and flinch at nothing

someone is fading behind these masks I wear.

It happens because I am absent in my roles.

Tuesday, September 2nd, 1980

All day my nerves creaked like the wood of an old ship
an eye watering day where peace never had a chance
and all day I tried to find what it was that had me so close to the line
that I felt I was loosing my self vindication…
am I falling asleep to property ownership and the corporate dream?
I’m afraid sometimes that I might just rally
against the high water marks
at what ever moment I just happen to be

perhaps its good I feel so disenchanted today
it stirs the wine and the tragic chords within me
so little lately do I commune within myself

I’m getting good at loving.
that means I’ve learned to walk around
the big mud holes
and have the attention span to remember
most of the journey has been a pleasure.
