i breath your

rapid

creativity like my dreams.

transfigured slumber

once stagnant to waking life

[]

i witnessed a man give birth

to jazz theory.

on stage,

with mere mortals staring back.

walls adorned with ripened colors

framed with oak trees.

low brim hats, fedoras, and red wine.

the lack of smoke fills the air,

along with off-beat melody-

snappin’ like peas.

[]

your echo reverberates

off window panes,

behind layers-

smog: the bi-product of metal scrapping.

.

los angeles.

tall as skyscrapers,

in the shadowed vein of the 10 freeway.

westward i go.

.

closer to you;

in 3:00 pm traffic.

minding my own

business.

[]

these city streets

have become a massive

graveyard

for the dead memories

of yesteryear

[]

let’s   wash away

these   m u  dd ledp a st s

with a steady  r h y t h m

of  our      futures

[]

i use scotch tape,

to fix the cracks

of my wide eyed gaze-

lenses that have seen a majority

of fuck-ups, i love you’s, and ephemeral vocabulary.

its about time i exchange this perscription

for a fresh pair of contacts.
