Jump

Explain in keener detail

Of the whereto from here

The locked in feeling of 'this'.

The Sunday blast strips most noise

Seeking effectiveness on how better to perform

The ablation so strongly desired to break into

Causal Nexus.

The sun dutifully rises, and with it, I roam

Outward and away from the true mark of each day.

I sit with these hands, aware of their tooling

And the constant misuse of their time.

Effort is a driven course with each moment, precisely held

It is my wish to practice excellence, but, up until now

It is only cerebral.

Ingestion of influence has been roasting

Confluence of the other minds that name those I love most

Has taken its fill. 

T.S. Eliot, regaled.

I am irascible in my dead quest

Owing nothing to myself, but,

The brunt reality and acknowledgment

That I am the blockade,

The very blockade to my own stagnancy.

Wasteland.

Written and rewritten, chapters on end.

The blueness in my veins now curdling with

The evaporation of time wasted.

The gravel of some, the rumblings in their throats

Scrubbing my insular cortex.

I cannot be what I am not, and,

I cannot further this agenda at the back of my own line.

So,

Jump.

Or be damned by my own complacency, to no end.
