Lotus Gait |
I have this recurring nightmare |
Flailing pigeon, broken feet |
Frozen solid to the freezing pavement |
I turn away as if I do not see |
I have this childhood memory |
Of my old man screaming from the driver’s seat |
To turn away from an unfolding horror |
But he could not undo what I had seen |
We never spoke of it again |
Two more hapless citizens of |
The new post-traumatic stress worldwide disorder |
A Stockholm syndrome fifth estate |
Desperate to batten down the mounting horror |
And shuffle on in a global lotus gait |
Content to marinate |
In the plasma glow of the |
Home entertainment prisons we |
Commune before like dime-store shrines |
Are these but votive lives? |
A strangled, twisted truss |
That shores up each of us |
So anything to dull the pain |
Of a splintered lotus gait |
As for me, a filigree of psychic police tape |
Tends to cordon off the darker scenes |
But the wandering mind stumbles through it |
And relives them all eventually |
Pries open wide your eyes |
Shines a painful light |
On the guilt, the fear, the shame |
The courage never came |
From the plasma glow of the |
Home entertainment prisons we |
Cling to like dime-store shrines |
Are these but votive lives? |
Conservative at heart |
A conformist from the start |
A Stockholm syndrome fifth estate |
A staggering lotus gait |
A strangled, twisted truss |
That shores up each of us |
So anything to dull the pain |
Of a self-inflicted, crippling lotus gait |
