mr
(593)

a battle between
the mind and the body
and the never quieting soul
who here searches to connect with the flesh and bone
intact , initiate the countdown
start from zero dawn and embrace for impact
words written will bubble up and choose you , mr coffee man
mango lumps inside our skin
whistle while you work , looking for the highway byway rules
as a way of structuring awareness
our comprehension fades ,
dementia settles in
2 canisters , 4 stacks of cups , creamer sugar , and a river of styx
this has broken old thinking habits
moon milk tea with ashwagandha mushroom boosts to brain flow
i look up to you who takes on milestones
bolo tie sobriety , hovercrafts inbound
scar tissues on our hands and torsos
steady the skiff to help those reach shore
camping mugs , pacman sludge , noises to trudge
i used to be happy mike
i want that again 
for you 
a gift of peace of mind
for you
shaman please show me the way
or introduce me to god who knows , 
not a fault by your own
mr elusive guru
deserving of the large green fishing trawler
take us off toward the redwood port and harbor
mr lobstershack
mr lobsterman
