To "
keep it real"
But now I KNOW the
deal
And I can peel back
through the layers of these
ancient geological stone
patterns
That attempted to circumscribe
my natural fluidity of identity
like the restrictive rings around
Saturn
The
attraction
Of its invisible gravitational field
pulling me silently into
orbit
An historic space shuttle mission
with an invitation to come
aboard
Yet stay on my very own
ship
The catch

You see I lacked the objective vantage point
from which to accurately define it
then
but I,
knew it was
true
Like a fish,
unable to articulate the characteristics of your liquid habitat
because it CONSTANTLY surrounds
you
So I attempted to perform in-TRA-generational evolution
– not by severing my connection with the deep
blue
Sea.
But by impregnating myself
and later becoming the proud father
of my very own, beautiful, baby brown identical twin...
feet
So, naturally I began to walk my own
walk
Deciding that I wanted to see the
TOPS
Of
mountains
I’d requested no guide yet people were always tryin to
re-route and
Re-direct my path
– trying to play
