these kicks, these fads, frivolous!

so as I've previously stated I've been absorbed in my fair share of short stories, (both) fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry recently. No, silly-willies not this roses are red shite, but words that will allow you to close your eyes and visualize exactly what the author is hoping to convey. Me being the way that I am and at times enjoying too much free time, I often feel compelled to mimic these truths that I read. Maybe I'm too easily inspired. Maybe when I grow up I'll want to do something different. I don't seem to care if it's good or not, I'm not hoping to get discovered, at least I don't think the American Poet spin off on Fox will generate much interest. If something gives you joy or a sense of purpose then my recommendation to you is to immerse yourself in it. blah-smlah, here is something.

he stands Inspired, but alone

it's the dawn of a new day
he says, a chance (his chance).
if only he could present himself
in a different way.
he stands Inspired, but alone.
6ft deep in his 10 ft. walk in closet.
stairing. he's miles away, waiting
for the shirt to make the first move.

he assumed today would be his inception,
his Kane, his first statement, hark!
he wanted everyone to hear him.
but at this moment,
he stands inspired, but alone.

she's been with him for 5 years,
married for 3.
her body still warm underneath the covers.
warm like the love they shared last night,
when their bodies crumbled into one another.
they're true to each other like rain,
like fire, but the night has ended.
he's cold, he stands Inspired, but alone.

with a weary & disinterested sigh,
he realizes the train is stopping,
stopping only for him.
also in the realm of his realization
is that his entire future is now slowly
slipping into what will soon be his past.
more than ever,
he stands Inspired, but alone.

upon his arrival he's asked
to empty his pockets.
he'll soon know why.
his belongings include, 1
japanese cigarette case, 2
cigarettes, & 3
matches. he's thinking
he should have had one
on the train. but it's too late.
his deadline is here, he's finished,
he's found out.
he stands Inspired, but alone.
