advice to self 2

approach with care your
samurai interstices
then twang your knife deep

.

go on, be hi cubed
your brain leaks private bed talk
slow on the pillow

.

bad banana you’ve
lost your mojo but you are
still sweet, idiot!

.

dance the tango, jump
inalienable lux
over the night sands

.

who threw you through the
ineluctable vortex
your egregious self?

.

it takes a wet pack
full of complex molecules
to blow your years out

.

you’re tossed and lost, it’s
not worth trying to hold your
breath inside this prism
