over decades like pulling that
chewing gum out of my mouth
twirling it around my finger
when I was a kid.
It was less gray then.
So easy to segregate
the devil and saint but
now I'm just a little bit of both
mixed and suspended in life.
Cycles and patterns stretched out
over decades like I am bent over
and trying release individual fibers
in my back, muscles tight with
clenched jaws and iron sides
hurt from laughing and crying.
