goalkicker - original poem

goalkicker

boots boosted

brain fried

running out

of borrowed time

simulated sincerely

stuck in a locket

with a lace

made of sticks

protecting

preserving

narrow

neural passageways

plausibly

possibly

providing something

with the power

deceive me

tug me along

a nodal cord

towards something sweeter

something strong

and much feistier

than yellow Listerine

in the misty

morning fog

or the decaliter

of moonshine

we use to soak

our tainted

trespassing feet

sanitizing each step

for the sake

of eternal rest

to share

a piecemeal with

the motherly

milkweed muggle

made

from tumbled traumas

and jangled cajoles

and disbelief

in the deeds of dust

or the power of fault lines

since everything my son

is so deeply

interconnected

feel the currents

wash our hands clean

be free from

locked doors

and narrow

neural passageways

let your toes breathe

in the wisp

of the Earths crust

silently shedding itself

continuously

beneath our feet

in a little sphere

drifting through infinity

kicked

by a champion
