here is a thing i

here is a thing i
do or am finding myself
newly doing, an
adding-on to my
life experiences
because of you –
after certain
deaths, a scouring
through the cloud,
gathering of data,
zeroes and ones,
for evidence, any
sign of neglect
when i could have
singlehandedly, if
not so effortlessly,
plucked this
future pain from
our hearts, an
unbelievably self-
preserving, ego-
centric, and
indulgent thought,
as if i could
wrap it securely
around my heart
to forget you

there is no rhyme nor

there is no reason

there is a boa

there is a boa
constrictor
inside
all of us,
one to several
slithers
away from the
strangle.

against place
of birth, rearing,
religion and
politics, all
of the categories
and identifiers
used to
draw the fine
threads between
wild and tame,
impulse and
restraint,
us and them,
reason is screwed
on ever so
tightly.

the only difference
between me and you
is how tight
.
