half an orb is all she needs

light brown eyes dart as 

half an orb streaks through the air

toss it hard

run to get it before

half an orb 

lies flatly there

half an orb could make

the lonely day 

push though with fireworks

of joy

so go ahead beautiful

take your 

half an orb

give a little piece of it

to everyone

start here

this is just where I lay my head 

perhaps float 

among the dog fur covered dust bunnies

gliding along a wind swept floor

that monumentally small fracture which is the space between brilliance and

pretense 

where self criticism punches the lights out of comfort then turns to laugh at 

the drunken brashness of daring 

linger there

simper with a half empty glass of grammar

all those night hidden in language

doesn't broaden the lyrical tap-dance

rather 

dampens the will to parlay again

ah sweet vanity

edit me before the frustration 

is communicated

before me is i

chop my fingers before

i flail wildly tapping

used up ideas

which is the hat to wear

dunce

profound

profane

boring

bear witness to this pitiful display

of pleading

shut misty eyes to the blank page

this could be just another ordinary 

perfunctory

yucky

attempt at humility

----

glad to clear that up.
