my mind (too)

the road
the path
mines of
the mind
too much
time spent
dwelling now
no regrets with
forward motion not
circling a star but like
a human going to and
fro and even though i
know the show goes
on i sometimes like
to pause and go out
back for a quick smoke
and my hands ache and
my back aches and my
mind - my mind - aches

forgetting who i am
then remembering
the strength of me
somewhere in be
tween the two ten
by ten rooms in
my mind which
are filled with
letters for-
gotten.

getting
the power
they do not
hand it over
you must take
it not by force but
with a will of mind
and perhaps that
is my destiny in
life and why i'm
here - to try big
things like
changing
the media
ownership
model across
these the united
(still kinda) states

slight slashes of the
heart and secret poetry
stashes of memories for
future dates - future places
in time and i wait in line like
the others, but i peer out and
see how to not cut ahead, but
talk and walk my way to the
front of the class to give
my big speech to the
world and maybe
by then i will have
realized that forgetting
me above others isn't
good for anyone involved
and the power bursts of...

pause. think it through,
but also be a man of
action, a man who
has the heart of
the city on his
mind - my
mind

sweet.
