“Don’t Mess With My Atonement”<\/p>\n
she was downsizing via guilt
\nhe was upsizing via his vork
\nno blame or same
\ntheir communication barrier
\nnon comprendo
\nwhen the soul needs a lesson give it up
\nto seeing both sides
\nof their disagreement
\nin planning to share a space
\nhis goal disrupted hers
\nher goal disrupted his
\nno blame<\/p>\n
“and so, the two, have parted
\ngonna have another walk downtown”<\/p>\n
what if
\nshe could learn
\nphysical manifestations not of her making.
\nwas not part of her atonement completion
\nnot enough to live an example
\nof conscious human to decide on
\ndownsizing?
\nand what if
\nhe could learn
\nwhen mind\/body\/spirit set a direction
\nhonor this<\/p>\n
i honor my keyboard
\nturn it upside and gently pat
\nlots of unwanted-s fall out
\nopenly i spread my hands over the keyboard
\nand honour all creators that brought us
\nfrom stone writing to keyboard
\nand beyond yes, i, stop here
\nwhere i am
\nto breathe in, breathe out<\/p>\n
take it home girl
\nwhile still wide awake
\ntobacco tomorrow
\nwhich will be today
\nyes i do owe more to taxpayers
\nergo i support tobacco tax<\/p>\n
back home again
\nin Clark’s Marysville
\nlaughing all the way
\nof what fun it is to ride
\nany open road…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
