Original Sin

BAM.


Teal hair
and 
Matt and Kim
and 
pudding.


Basically
I feel 
like kicking ass.
And taking taking names.


Confidence up ten-fold!
And a bit of intellectual 
discussion,
found poetry
and off we go!
Running into the misted
distance 
which we know will be trying,
difficult
and make us feel like dying
once or twice,


but here
we are going!!


No time but here
this very now
and it's all going
to work itself out,
because this is not the end!


This is a beginning 
of sorts, of new
gatherings
and new goings
and the
passion 
and emotion 
will flare up all around!


And I know,
yes I do,
that these many odd weeks
ahead will wear me down
and make me cry
as all long time spans do,


but these hills and 
misread maps
are making the going intriguing!


So let us do 
this thing.


Let us run into the night
waving our arms
in madness
and beauty
because
we are going
to 
own this.


All of it.
