colors fading


colors fading on a warm
summer day
a blanket of low lying clouds
forbidding the sun
to display its muscle

the boy asks if the sun
is a god
& I reply
maybe when it’s not raining

he nods his head
questioning the answer
[from within]
his lips moving
but his words unspoken

there’s much work to be done
I tell the boy
but since the colors are fading
we will wait in the wings
until the coast is clear

on becoming a god


I’ve been googling how to become a god
and I’m finding it’s not as daunting
of a task as you might think

it’s not much different
than other casual aspirations
in which I have tried & failed
all the while claiming it could be done

acquiring the knowledge of self
is a start in the right direction
but that understanding might
only crack open the door

becoming a god is not impossible
but in doing so one must first
seek & destroy their own self

god is in the wine (and the wire)


the light above me starts
humming and pulsating
distractedly
and it was then I realized
some higher power was communicating to me
telling me how there is so much more
to learn about myself

down below in the basement
inside the fuse box
hot wires pass over neutral ones
arcing into obscurity
sending cross currents
to the nearest known light
