on days when my
on days when my
parallel self is
standing here, dawn
gnawing at my
soul, there are
twenty-six of me
found back
home, eight still
a pianist, four
doctors and
lawyers and such,
and at least three
of me always
with you

it takes a good
it takes a good
word
here and there
to fashion
a ladder, one
that could
get you places –
eventually, each
step may feel
sturdier
than the next,
but i would
not count on it

we all make a living
we all make a living
somehow, tethered
to a lit screen, a new
building, a handful
of avenues, or a spot
in the park.
adolescence waits
on the corner, mouths
flapping as we chase
those dreams, slay
each other’s dragons

we have all arrived at this corner
of the city with brightly
colored agendas tucked
surreptitiously between
the hardness of professionally-

arrived for similar
reasons with different
rulers to measure the time
from unknown to
success. we have all broken
a few rungs on the way
up the ladder
and in accordance
we slide down so easily
