ready set regret

ready set sunset

counting down new sounds

back around home town renown

remember?

not me

…

ready set outlet

plugged into me

like sewing seeds upon new scenes

I bleed

for greens yet unseen in between

our lines // one at a time

you take these rhymes and wonder

does the sea ever end

for me?

…

ready set cigarette

long drag playing tag with wonder

was it lighting or thunder

can it be?

…

ready set silhouette

an image of you carved in my mind

one at a time // you see

I bleed

sun beams sent shivers so mean

like nicotine

fade away in smoke

left to ponder

can’t you see?

take me under or let me be

…

ready set

regret

and grab another

//

go unlike worded woes

dripping on blank pages painted

the most unusual shade of blue
