shadow, dancing
i could become like a shadow
dancing on the sidewalk while
my body stands lamely
between the sun and me
sidewalk jiving,
obstructing dream
conquests i strive toward timeless
with a body stuck in time,
grinding its gears at a current endeavor
that creeps into being in the real.
we only make things to share with others
or nourish ourselves, the other.
we share time only, really,
pick a moment close enough
you’ll see that you are feeling
air exit your lungs to remind you
of your breathing
and i’m dancing, and i’m dancing,
the sun and i are dancing and
the sun’s time is leaving
and my time is fleeting and
i am a shadow existing in and out
of time with you the body lamely my mind
or a share of my mind
and my mind and my mind and
my mind shares with no time so
it exists not
less the spots.
