Immobile Objects

Immobile objects remain still, unless moved upon one's will.

Auto  Mobile

Suppose yourself to be transposing-

along the treads that mark 

towards a path of failure. 

 

Does one continue 

the journey of governed manifestation, 

or does one deflect 

ongoing traffic that plays 

a game of chicken.

Body

An easy fix, a scratch is, 

but what then

when it’s deep into the paint, 

onto the frame, etched and 

engrained 

into the foundation.

 

The body is a reflection

of an owner’s deepest 

insurrections,

that no establishment can heal, 

unless it’s a full

replacement.

Crash

Crash into pieces-

my feelings aren’t escaping. 

a spark ignites me, 

yet the fuel is tanking,

depleting, misleading me- 

into a pit

because you were 

rearing me into it.

 

I’ve lost control.

 

The brakes 

screeching under my toes.

The mobile goes jolting, 

onto a vast land of woes.
