i am holding it

i am holding it
in without resorting to
the precision of
bottles, reflecting
that elegant
fragility without
the possibility
of breaking

to manage and hold
simplicity, the universe
maps out new
configurations of
gears that must
turn with elegant
precision.

each other, we do
the same thing –
listen intently
for only one
another’s clicks

for some, going
chrome has the
sheen of
going platinum
or going blonde –

out of the
day’s combat
boots with
decisive
abandon

we fall into reptile

we fall into reptile
precision
when it comes
to what we say and
what we keep
stranded
in our throats.

drag it out
until recognition
is just a word
left unsaid
