Wisdom

You left me a week after
they took my teeth out.
They said the holes in my
mouth wouldn't fill in for
six months. You are scheduled
to return in three.

My old habits remain.
I grasp for intimacy.
I get stuff stuck where I once
reliably had teeth.

I wish for a wall of hard enamel love.
Something I can lean on and leverage off.
Instead I feel abyss.

I fear an infection will overrun
my mouth.
Absences lead to abscesses.
I keep my wounds bleeding
clean so you will have
a spot when you return.

WELCOME TO ATLANTA
the world is a complex place.

I noticed this today.

So many people get angry and scared by this.

They react. They fight every individual battle that is possible in order to avoid dealing with the big ugly mother-smothering problems.

I stare into the complexity and am not afraid. I do not accept it, but I let it flow through me like a jolt of electrical current.

This is my first post in over a year.
Tumblr is for people with way too short of an attention span.
I wonder if Ice Cube likes it.

When I had half-typed a google search on "how to" I was bemused by the possibilities the auto-suggest had to offer in this order:
how to tie a tie
how to kiss
how to get pregnant

thank you internet. you bring a warm glow into the hearts of the hormoneless.
