[i-suck-at-sarcasm]

i take the scissors 

out of my mouth

and put them in my mind’s

hands

watching as it’s cuts

words from

paper pages

and gets it fingers 

sticky with glue

pasting poems on

it’s dream board

among the quotes

and the authors

the “if found” posters 

of old friends

the concert ticket stubs

and the scribbled thoughts

setting down the scissors 

wiping down the hands

before closing the glass back over the bulletin board with the lock

covering the display case of

the master plan depicting

-my dreams 

hemly

[chuckakot]

Somewhere in the moment of pause the sounds began to tingle, radiating unanimously, everything became taciturn from the outskirts of love edged out;  the unforgotten incipience of her image, began and outwardly tempting once more, yielding myself in and out of this mind, disturbing in a persistent call to lay these feelings ahead; but I am thoroughly unbounded of the uncertain reasons why I should reconsider the utmost pretense of coming back to her whom I could possibly adore but I do not see myself in the conventions of her love.

Chuck Akot, “Everything became taciturn.”
