INVOICE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypothetically
\nif I wasn’t alone
\nI’d be home.
\nI’d enjoy the suspense
\nof an unfinished
\nellipsis.<\/p>\n

Presumably
\nmisunderstanding is
\nunquantifiable.
\nIn solitude
\nsymmetry isn’t quite
\nattainable.<\/p>\n

Ostensibly
\nhuman compatibilities
\naren’t untenable.
\nShopping for people
\nobviates monotony
\n\u2014 provisionally.<\/p>\n

Apparently
\nisolation & solipsism
\nare mutual, universal.
\nAffiliations are,
\nhowever partial, proxied,
\ndiagonal.<\/p>\n

Supposedly
\nhuman mutual is
\ncongenital, inexorable.
\nUnilateral is
\nanomaly, shopping
\nfor impossible.<\/p>\n

Hypothetically
\nif I wasn’t alone
\nI’d be tangible.
\nI’d enjoy contrapuntal
\nlogistics of
\nvolatility.<\/p>\n

Will you?<\/em><\/p>\n

Preordination<\/strong><\/p>\n
Wings overlapped in
\nSymbolic agony writhe<\/p>\n
In exchange for a blessed<\/p>\n
Transformation spent in
\nThe concern of strangers<\/p>\n
KE<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
giving things away<\/strong><\/p>\n
getting my Thoreau on
\ngrowing my hair out
\ngiving things away
\nthat I do not need
\ngive until
\nI am alone
\nwith my thoughts
\nwith my vision
\nand the world<\/p>\n
sit on the grass
\nfocus soft
\ngaze at the blades
\nthe tiny flowers
\nthe weeds<\/p>\n
loafing
\nis a virtue, is a Universe
\na day in the clouds
\nwhile still on the ground
\nI taste the sounds
\nthat listen and give thought
\nto my satisfied
\nheart<\/p>\n
