Starting Mode (Free verse) by zenhaircut
Long-haired men drive us crazy
Warm hands clench beer cans,
Hastening transiting consciousness.
She's '96 in jeans and flannel,
I'm someone's fleeting daughter.
Let's not fastfoward.
Smoke-induced nebulous room,
We're shortsighted, looking far beyond
Gaudy moon-stroked glass, pavement.
We dissipate, you and I.
Our soles proceed our souls,
Heart-beats against linoleum, no longer cold.
We danced to bad music,
My freeform flail, you, less tense
A million stares upon us, disregarded.
This is starting mode.
