Catch The Wind

 

Offered all the music

on all the majors,

I go out and catch the wind

 

Choking on self-pride,

I venture into my emptiness

and weep

 

My friends all gathered,

I go looking for a foe

 

My lifestyle becoming self-evident,

I break the rules

 

Strong and well-trained,

a tiny thought brings me down

 

Body traveling north or south,

mind goes south or north

 

Looking at everything,

I see myself,

looking at myself,

everything appears

 

My brain is a place in space,

space is where I think

 

Life is a transparent mirror,

time is a falling notion

 

Nowhere is endless,

right here travels fast

 

Every face grows a name,

the letters stumble at the mouth

 

My body murmurs

at the end of the line,

the wind catches my breath

 

In the storm of my mistakes,

I reef my sails

and drift stubbornly

 

All my girlfriends

rise out of the diaries

and wither like old mushrooms

 

My willingness to cooperate

warms itself by defiance

 

My obstinacy thrives

in the ordinary

 

It rubs uncomfortably

that so many celebrities

are caught by what they can get

 

Everything

is all that's left

 

I pat my belly

and count the years
