Freeverse 542

10/12/21

each idea I have a horse in a stampede
occasionally one jumps the fence

a small watchtower sees nothing
I optimize what I am able to

even when nature shoved me clothesless into the cold
I sawed off parts of her to make a home
became bilingual with the woods
I had treasures, that I drew with my finger in the dirt

I hate myself and love myself were lessons I learned
the race-losing tortoise will attend the hare's funeral someday

once I saw a man begging for his own bones
and vowed never to be so asymmetric
