game

to be so drawn to the lights
at the mouth of the liquor store

a cat watching a man dig holes
in his front yard

every day is a lifetime
every day is a lifetime

i always need my body 
to tell my mind what to do 

wondering about
what font you slept in

reaching for the chain on the bulb
in the closet

letting go of my mind 
like a balloon on a string

the game is orbiting some glimmer
the game is finding/protecting the glimmer

watch till you can't see it
read till your eyes won't stay open
