Up, Up and Dismay

I don't need that nod from you
to indicate how I should navigate
introductions to
the new people you know
if acting in accordance with the social constraints
and speaking only when spoken to
is your idea of fun then I'll start having mine without you
While we're talking plainly
I wanna take the time to say
that whether or not your friends like me is ok
but what in them in all honesty
if there’s a possibility they're somehow put off you by meeting me
do you really see

Shoes

In my shoes you might be buying new ones sooner
In my stead you might have cared a little more
Just where you chose to set your soles down
Well I'm pleased how well they've worn
kissing all the streets they've known.
But more and more ties I was sure would never strain or slacken
are tugging taut or worse the knots are slipping over time.
And where before I'd bump against chance and ride my luck a while
Happen-stance seems less affording. When did we become so boring?
My creeping disengagement
has had of me
all that I wish to allow
And now I need
to resuscitate
some self governance
and any chance of getting out the house.
In my shoes I hope that I can be happy.
'In my stead' means not what it meant before.
Just where these choices lead is not defined.
But I'm damned if I ignore
my ageing and my agency anymore.

Where Seagulls Dare

Shadows cast by our progress
concealing our failings
making forward motions with no moments rest
and it's laughable
now we can see the irony
of a bond built on apathy
They say hindsight's 20-20
they say the moment's where to live
they say the future is unwritten
I'm at a loss and as to what comfort that's meant to give
And I was at a loss as to your rationale
for bringing things to a halt
how could you make that cut so cleanly and maintain
that no one was at fault
I lost sight of context
blinded romanticising just how things used to be
exhausted by resentment
a realisation that brought forth clarity
When I look back now
I'm no longer wishing that you'd stuck around
I made my peace with your exit
yes I've found
When I look back now
I'm no longer wishing that you'd stuck around
I made my peace with your exit
I just hope you've found
A sense of contentment
