what to do?
when questions permeate inspiration
engulfing, 
clogging the drain like chunks of meat,
filter insertion complete?
what to do? 
when yellow bedroom is too cold for sleep
walls too barren
pillow too shallow
bony knees knocking
blue robe shivering
awake and wondering
what's wrong, where is peace?
wondering, but deep down
just knowing
(as usual). 
what to do?
when solemn, well intentioned digging
by thick warm hands
unearths the most metallic of facts
so solid they break knuckles,
their truth so ungainly
hands consider re-burial,
re-subterranean-exile...
but newborn truth becomes like baby,
screaming louder if ignored,
no choice but to cradle if knuckles will heal.
what to do?
when eyes are open so wide
you can't see anything
but dynamics?
nothing but transfer, displacement, longing?
nothing but how it is, 
was,
likely will always be?
hmm, i say.
what to do?
girly feet know...
they take me to walden pond
so i can ask my anonymity.
