just saturday

this saturday
this is
one of those days
that is meant to be
burned away.
not every moment
has to be filled
with pure
unadulterated excitement.
there needs to be
quiet moments
to let the body
and mind
gather its spent pieces
and bring them
to semblance once more.
the calm repose
is more than welcome
after some of these days.


throw away piece
i am
trying
and i am seeing
some results.
time to
batten down
the hatches
and sail
full speed
into the
unknown.


some thing i have noticed
the problem
with everyone i know
is we are all
still waiting to grow up
in some way or another.
when i see those faces
i don't see adults,
i see the same kids
and teenagers
that we were
almost ten years ago.

greedy
greed is by no means a virtue
but it is something
we all share in someway.
whether lusting for
the unattainable flesh
or for wealth without end
there is something
we would horde like
the robber barons of old.
