Literature Text

it took too long to see
that I am more than just a creature
over-shadowed by
many another creatures
meandering this carbon jungle
the greatest wish to be a ghost

yet since breaking through the noise
I find fresh kill at my doorstep
a trophy I suppose, though mostly
unsolicited
left by those who haunt the floor
since the subterfuge was lifted

and now an unknown mortal
I’ll amble forth with potted plants and
grab up all the sunny places
where Lazarus can see us
doing fine without his promised
trendy apparitions

because though more than just a creature
I am a creature none the less
one who stalks
and sleeps and balks
outside the paradox -
unsubscribed to that whole mess

“when you’re eyes aren’t fixated on the ground, you’re free to look up and wonder”
