BRAZEN

Caught in the middle
Between the City and the sea
Part of us working
And the rest at ease
No anxious moments frozen
As though caught, brazen
Taking every dollar
An experienced scholar
Of the excesses of the human kind How they lead fictional lives Separated from their inner strife

Covering the anima with bravado Coloring the animus with pink roses Examining everyone microscopically As though the big picture

Was more vague than Picasso Always exhibiting everything
And uncovering the little nothings That separate us from ourselves

As the dream serves itself
Disclosing all thoughts
All prior histories
Each and every dichotomy
That arise in your future destiny Realizing each day to be independent Holding its own

In a cascade of inner torment While holding true to the mantra Which asks us to hold onto truth Bit by bit
Until the teeth hurt
From smiling so much
