Restrictions: None
no aim
I started to roll
over dirt —
spun, veered,
not on accurate course,
but true,
renegotiated
by a rock or two, when

horizontally flung
in direction seemingly true,
slowing near destiny,
then
seized, clutched.
stuck again
with lynch pin,
a threat to explode?
merely tart pineapple
than perceived, destructive device,
you label,
claim fear that none
should near.

I idle on sacred surface,
dreams breaking at core,
now mud-embedded
on dirt floor, captive
hostage, monster.

no goal, no aim
on a flat, dead plain, oozing
beautiful, sour discomfort
restrained, but
not without a voice
direct to clouds
descending soothing rain.

my aim — survival,
a game I win
as you refrain, realize
the true monster
felt no mercy in ignorant apathy,
acts my savior
if only promise remain detained,
don’t careen
off desert walls,
disturb any or all
with perceptive perseverance.

I’m not ordinary,
neurotypical Neanderthal.
I’ll take your locks.
go hide before
I break, escape as a
reckless rock,
roll again over your
flat, dry terrain.



12.22.20
6.16.22, Revised with addition, edit, formatting
from a period when I clearly stopped caring, as I’m prone to do time to time,
before reigniting, looking back at lessons learned about giving up — don’t.
