4/25/25: gold

 Today's prompt and no poem to share today. write your own and sing it at unsuspecting people.

affixed to concrete    listen        all the stops    the way melody and noise splash each into each other                            can't help it        built into one    like         the other    dueling, rising; waxing 

waning.         won't help it.         we are mostly forgotten/intrepid followers of life's plans    converging here and like this            you who mattered in ways my soul remembers but the rest of me        forgets

or life            guides us/    wanderings                elsewhere. no circles. even when we depart            thinking it is an elaborate figure eight                thank you for taking my hand            we trace something different

        something/somewhere else        made monuments in the spaces since then        mostly good ones,
i hope        i might pray        in 4 minute rituals, celebrations        recitations    thank you

                even when    we lied to ourselves    young liars    i like to think it was earnest    belted out
in response to a wall of feedback meeting something more perfect. we felt forever, didn't we? can't help

it/
forever wasn't something caught in a bottle. as the song shifts, as our momentums pushed us forward and elsewhere, i was sure this was the peak        won't help it. it might have been        then,

but it was just another opening number.
