I'm wondering exactly, when the digression began
inside the minutes as they began to unravel
pulling apart at the seams,
blowing away everything we used to remember
or maybe we never did.

how did this heart full of love and compassion
fall into servitude without grace?
indentured, even
without any contract
or warning,
no heads up
where is the oxygen here?

careful construction of nimble reflections
glossed over refractions inane,
I think I may be different
or at least out of lock-step,
I somehow didn't consider monetary gain

I foolishly believed love trumps nickels and dimes
wasting one's breath counting miles
and the like,
I somehow thought spending time was precious,
never realizing it all came down to the dollar
or penny,
whatever!

I don't think like the rest, in this equation
and I might as well get myself lost,
move far away
I'll never be missed,
I'm too weird for this sample of
human-ness...
