up north there’s a place where
status quo goes and goes
routine turns to superstition
habit becomes addiction
traffic patterns clearly visible
they say it will be memorable
a calendar date to commemorate
an anniversary to celebrate some day
a real rain will come
wash the shit off my messenger bag
playing with fire for a year and a half
finally getting burned
did you expect retrospect
to smooth things over
amplitude includes both highs and lows
there’s an ebb in my flow
the universe shifting slightly to the left
out of field goal range
showing punt formation
fourth down giving up
throwing up choke it down
swallow it whole
treating each symptom separately
cannot possibly be holistic
realistically really
for real
10 years later I expect retrospect to smooth things over
