and I insert
within collision
an incomplete aside
since

this place manhandles me like a slot machine
I recoil from the impression -
an unpretentious level becomes tactless obstruction
whose demands deform my impolite adornments

- by relapsing this theatrical extra
and returning to awkwardness
I tarnish my abc’s
with untutored spectators
too handy for the shade
too conclusive to transpire

watchful, I rest on a humid stool to hand,
in the eternal passageway
keeping my feet off the ungrateful doormat
as a light beam singles me out
do I blend in? or divide?

to depict,
and return over

in exploiting an inflection, glibness renovates discretion.

plus,
inside descent,
ongoing again
because

at home we hustle these dispensers,
shrinking the atmosphere from
inflated ground to discreet barricade –
laws distort rude decorations

- reverting this histrionic other
back to embarrassment
blemishing your alphabet
with an illiterate audience
too close to the curtain
for anything final to happen

caution sits in a warm seat, nearby
there’s always an aisle to be
paced – with unappreciative carpeting
torchlight picks up an ‘a’ in the crowd
does it belong in wary? or another?

to draw,
and back again

in the use of an accent, fluency converts tact.

one time more I
dwindled throughout,
placing myself before experience
while circumstances within

accelerate suggestions,
broadening my disguise:
an inflamed totality, that splits
this odd illegible flaw

and capsizes my vital difference
who multiplies unease to improve recall.

a scrap of continuance
slinks in the course of a single breach
ravenous for careless fusions

to snatch,
and snatch again

as the unanticipated decode, calls from the chat that wraps.

and I, once more,
during decrease,
locate it happening anew
since conditions inside

hasten these offers,
extending my facade to
a swollen whole, that
divides this eccentric's scribbled blemish

- overturning my momentous other
who spreads the concern, to enhance and reinstate

a dot of survival
that slithers in the direction of a solo riff
greedy for casual unions

to clutch,
and clutch again

as the unlooked-for decipher, contacts the talk that covers.

and,
in fall,
underway again
as -

in rush those hands
stretching the sky's face along
a distended world wall whose
conventions smudge graffiti

- reversing this historic elsewhere,
smearing the 'a' in caution to restore advance

a fleck of existence
glides towards a lone thumb
grasping at uncommitted joints

to catch,
and catch again

as bi-fingerly, we translate touch into the dialect of skin.
