stamps

when you’re
middle-aged
and high
buying a book of stamps
and a Hershy bar
at a grocery store
mid-day
you question
if you’ve gone too far
or not
far enough
in this
maze of consciousness
where you purchase
stamps
to mail a check
for a water bill
wondering
after
13.7 billions years
has it come to this
eating the chocolate
shouldering
the tragedy
and loss
the love
that kiss
understanding
it’s all one
has until the end
including
the middle

I place 26 letters from the English alphabet melded occasionally with Arabic numbers in sequences I enjoy while utilizing blank spaces and 14 punctuation marks between said letters or numbers to create expression. For example: Ingrid enjoys cotton candy, mathematics, feather-light kisses, removing wood splinters from soft feet, and whiskey with an e. One day she will die and be gone forever. The dream she loves is often smooth as black glass. Too many people are scared to live. Not Ingrid. Some days she wields a heavy maul, shattering the black glass touching her dream. Most of the atoms comprising Ingrid exploded from unstable high mass stars, billions of years ago. That makes her smile. Ingrid is the strongest, most beautiful, most alluring person in the universe - at least that's what David, thinks.
