seven

in reflecting (on) this experience
i like to take the easy road
the hardest way possible.
my ipod blares my favourite tunes
and sometimes the lifting comes,
sometimes i'm backstage
at an abba concert
or flying like a glider
without the plane.
sometimes i am wonder woman.

i adopt the mannerisms
of former movie stars
that look more like 
complicated cravings in a
world that has sophisticated
itself up its own arsehole,
confusing the *compelling for
good/potent/art/
merit-orious.

so i look to other conceits
and ways to amaze.
the answer just may come
from the graft, the physical
stretching of the sinews
and tendons producing both
heat AND value.
the shadows are long,
this day has taken its toll.
