The Bare Bones Matter


If I was to be something, anything, I needed to start my foot path anywhere but here

on the left,

were all the right reasons to go that way,
interminable cloudless skies,
an indelible feeling of perfection,
inevitably followed with angst over such flawlessness

But I could run,
I could always run very far from all of this,
because I had my feet

on the right,

were all the wrong reasons to come this way,
carelessness of landscape,
the dissipation of wildlife,
the counterfeit shadowboxing of what lay ahead,
a jewelry box filled with unfulfilled promises

But I could run,
I could always run very far from all of this,
because I had my feet

and I had them here,
in front,
and behind these window panes of mine
