      if im not nude here
         then what am i reaching for
  
    i really like the smell  here
            its painted on your face
        this motion  helps to keep me awake

            I' m
      at odds
            with rope
        hell ,ill try anything
           be anything
        Its only nature

  there was mention of a party
     will  i   be served
       to  your friends
    and their  bright bolted ends


     i have learned
  in this miniature mile
    to  soak yourself
        in submission
       each morning
      right  before denial
        but after bitter
            and i feel better

    there are rules ,you see      
constant tools...(vehicles) you need to be

    creation gives way to  skin
       how does it fold
    how much madness    
            can it hold
     and how does it stand
               when
       dreams  wake us
         with sweetness

         whenever possible

no longer afraid of the dark
       or mid day shadows  
nothing so ridiculously
     teenage and desperate

"if im not nude here
         then what am i reaching for"

now THIS, explains precisely what I reach for, in EVERY endeavor. (and I do mean that seriously, sigh, everything that I say seems to be laced with innuendo)

Wish I'd written this.
