ink on a roll

start out raw and tiny
unsure and hopeful that i will turn
eventually
into this giant thing i desperately want to
be.

a small ball of string
that starts tipping, then slowly rocking and
gently
on it's way to becoming
the biggest
ball of collected life stor(ies)y
ever in my history.

frankly my dear, i don't give a damn.

it's only ever been
about pushing
being pushed
into the shape
whatever it is
of something i am inside but cannot be
on my own.
i keep discovering little corners and bits of geometry
that i didn't know fit into my structure
but do.
oh, so well.
these sharp angles that keep poking out are preventing me from rolling,
but then,
i am finding
the stopping and slowing
is all this ink needs
to flow life into these dry bones.
green as a dandelion leaf.

don't wait

the world is spinning
spinning way too fast
and i am hungry.
ready for the day
the spinning stops
and the plate is
passed
to me, with
eager anticipation to see
what i will create
with myself.

the dog barks
the smoke smells
this day like any other
is just the beginning
of the rest of my life.
this today is my
chance at greatness,
to do something
contribute
epic
battle laziness
apathy and suspicion of
mediocrity.
and jump in with the spin.
