Holidays:
Innumerable future selves lean to form an audience, keen to hear the result.
They'll wait for hours to be betrayed, restless.
Too scared to blink or speak at all,
I fumble everything for a home crowd -
stuck in their thick, berating din.
If they could speak they'd help me out -
tell me what I'm supposed to do and think
You're a barricade of charisma,
I don't know how to talk to you.
You're a catapulted whisper splattering on flags of truce.
I have allegiances to characters I am now too old to be,
I spend the bulk of my free time pining, wishing and worrying
It feels a lot lot like:
Getting back from a holiday you liked;
Reluctant small talk with a friend you were once much closer with;
reluctant small talk with a colleague you feel you know too much about.
Its not ideal, its only fine,
its not how you feel
but it's all that you are, boy
It's alot like:
Waking up when you'd rather be asleep;
Having things to think about when you'd rather sleep, to dream. It's alarming we're so calm
as we erode to lesser forms.
Far from ideal, we'll say it's fine.
It's not how we feel it's just all that we are now.

It feels a lot lot like getting back
from a holiday you liked
Reluctant small talk with a friend
you were once much closer with
reluctant small talk with a colleague
you feel you know too much about

Its not ideal, its only fine,
its not how you feel
but it's all that you are, boy


Strange:
Feeding the starved opportunist
on a steady diet of fingernails and surrounding skin -
just enough to keep him quiet

I know i'm a little bit strange.
But I'll keep quiet and you don't have to say anything.
And this typhoon of bumbling ineptitude
might deflate to just a gust in this room

I'm getting better at leaving,
I'm a familiar sound in a colloquial din.
I am a compromise.

I know i'm a little bit strange.
But I'll keep quiet and you don't have to say anything.

Everything's on loan we are interim.
