we watch to learn
we leave and return
the things you earn
the ears blocked against talking heads
the trailing threads
we pick them and process what’s said
i want to be atop the shoulders of giants
but i want to remain plastic, pliant
no interest in being locked down compliant
you are the flower i am emulating
you’ve been watching; i’m gestating
all the shit i’m contemplating
here i am – i’m done waiting
