Day by day the memories fade as the words drip across the pages of the pensive that is the Moleskine that holds it all in time.

Day by day the arguments for leaving everything as they are, more justifiable in their claims to cleanse the old wounds, no scabs to pick.

Day by day, waking up without remorse from those killed from apathy and shame, we were meant for the stars but we try so hard to blot them out.

Day by day things change but stay the same as their orbits can’t be broken, without the normalcy how can it be?

Day by day going through the oscillation of waves, vibrating on the air, suffocating the stagnation.

Day by day finding the light as it hops along the petals of the flowers among

the coronation of the divine machinations.

Day by day the details don’t fade as eyelids only obscure the photons not the projections of the eternal.

Day by day blindly walking off a ferry into waters below, someone will come through, they’ll want to see what the seaweed looks like in June.

Day by day falling in and out, the jerking motion inducing soul sickness through contented resistance, its just supposed to.

Day by day stopping for nothing turning around to say hi to the model hiding under the baseball cap, “you’re too pretty for that.”

Day by day chipping away at the slow clap that feels to fast to exact the revenge of the new sound, watch it lay in gutter drowning in the flood of drown.

Day by day knowing as the Canadians used to say “Ferrr surrrrrre” that will would add itself into the memories of trying and fucking up.

Day by day knowing none of it is meant to be, though the fact that it was still reminds, that what was, was.

Day by day looking in your eyes, all of them, reminded of the impossibility of being alone, a reality for those eyes bright and wide to see.

Day by day sticking words next to one another deciding they’re never good enough but pulling them all out just the same.

Day by day rolling the mind to mush under the pressure of balancing paper over a flame too strong to tame.

Day by day reading the play for today, move to the right you say?

Did that yesterday, how about something new today?
