Signs
Andrew Kamen
Straight forward
Saunter on
Outpacing a tortoise
In a rectangular corset
Charting endorsements
Fair weather warrior
Porch pirates laying claim to my doorstep
Mop the floors as the Lord wept
Watching as the world burns
Nothing that important
Nothing of importance
Break open the safe
Pick the lock on the medicine cabinet
Save the house fly passing away of old age
Liminal states
Betwixt and between
Into the thick of it
Picking up speed
Cut the cord of the elevator
Went to hell and back on an escalator
Always on the lookout for a good deal
The value that we brought to the table was our last meal
Borrow never steal
Unless you didn’t want it back
Double bypass on the final lap in a hamster wheel
Do a tiny dance
Everybody running past
Lock stock barely holding mass appeal
Baby, what’s the deal
Chomping at the bit
All I do is sit
Bouncing off the walls
Looking for an angry fix
There was only one of me
Against all six
Making stick figures this year
Easy to miss
Empty the clip
Hit nothing but the wind
Only revolutions
Appearing in our line of sight
Micron resolution
Still couldn’t see the signs
Couldn't see the signs
