Theory

Explain to me the imagined self.

Is blood thicker than water? 

         Maybe I am thicker still.

Paint a picture of progress and watch the colors run.

Is theory all there is?

         No, but yes.

         Yes, maybe yes.

The cog in my wheelhouse cranks on.

Am I dutiful enough?

         Maybe time was the talent all along.

Fancy fitful failings and the sinking of

conscience.

Mutter this again,

one last time.

I am more

I ammore

iammore
