The Simple Complicated

I'm not above.

I'm probably below

Or beside

And taking it all in

While forgetting my place

Mispositioning my identity using frivolous attempts at projecting a wholesome life as guideposts or the floor appearing just in time under my feet

I am not above.

I'm probably below

Or maybe beside

I'm watching this dance

Analyzing the steps as my body starts to move... unconsciously.

I'm staring in the known

Pretending it's the unknown.

As if it is the abyss

Of the vastness of all.

The unthought

Surfacing

The incomplete,

the simple complicated

The selected

The poured form

Floating and staying....

It might be time to face it.

I'm not as cool as I used to be.
