One Note Symphony

A Field in Hunsrück (Germany) photo by A.B. Godfreed

I am my own
symphony
pitched into a chorus
of likeminded
scattered across the globe;
together
we take small steps
in a truth
of hot coals and laughter,
while I chant
affirmations
to my self-doubt
& determination
for I’m
totally f…
(un)-employed.

I am my own
story
telling itself into a becoming
of starts and
those utter stutters of life
as it must
struggle to be
unfettered
from the common sense
of destinations
known
to
this is me — unhinged
in fuzzy landscapes
of half drawn portraits
in trans-
formation.

I am my own
symphony:
one note — “turn on, tune in, drop out!”
one note — charting course of no-known-sense
one note — speaking its own true social death
one note — scoring, from self-orchestrated rock-bottom-soaring.
