uncollected, barely edited thoughts from a train, tipsy

car ride to north station went too quickly,

hand drumming the seat divider

naturally and cell phone

beeping unnecessarily some swerves

and puddles i was happy just to be

there because i had found my fire, hit the

floor or touched

the earth as they say in dimly lit yoga

studios, had found something like earnest

italian and realized my

heart was beating overtime, like it was pulling

water from a well and pumping it with all haste to a fire to be put out,

but a forest fire, one of those necessary if not

controlled burns tree roots tap in

to later (once made rich the soil)

energy and strength, nervous energy transformed to excitement

watching thoughts is almost like

watching the words at the bottom of a singalong

song. don't know if i've ever watched so

boldly but in a book of good ideas, pt. II, i might add that we should

kiss and see what happens. start a business

dreaming of music videos that never

get made but sound really beautiful


fingers playing mountains like a

keyboard and picking cirrus clouds like

guitar strings.

teenage dream? admit it build that

fort of sheets and memories brought into

the present


in the yoga room focus on

hands crunching arms,

foot sweat slipping

eyes looking straight

forward or up or

relaxing the (i imagine) three braids of

muscles in the back of the neck.

in the yoga room where sighs make up most of the air,

shaking arch, mind's stories,

pass observed then

find fire, a blaze controlled but

right let the heart (pumping blood, taking

air) want to be

elsewhere sometimes. boom

boom and now the rain is

beautiful
