First Words

I like making stories,

Building from one word.

They’ll always be short,

And usually an action to start,

Like breathing.

It’s a fantastic first word,

Simply because it’s unnoticed,

The action of breathing.

The more mundane an action

The more I want to start there,

Draw the focus to the simple,

Let the madness grow around it,

All because of the first word.

Plus it’s easier,

Like diving off a board

After going from poolside forever.

The first words don’t need to be hard,

Just to have somewhere to go.

The Slant Truth

The slant truth is really getting out of hand. Around a circle we go, until we end up digging ourselves into a hole that's too deep to escape. And we don't notice how far down we are, until we've hit some kind of bottom.
