Warm Bordering on Neutral

Joe Sonnenblick

The same things they loved you for they’ll condemn you all the same
Lovers, business partners, artists...
Strange branches who bore withered fruit
You can camouflage yourself, they’ll see it through
J.O.R. Japan
T.M. England,
It’s two caps and two stems
It’s asking yourself for a little vulnerability whilst crying in the sea.
Stare at it’s impatience
Calming memory does nothing but one lap and disappears
Sitting in the fried clam shack that isn’t there anymore,
Mainly because of a fire
It’s beach 116^th street
Ocean air will make you whole/stale.
I don’t know if I’m being framed all the time
Cloaked furniture
Off again to run from it
Peering through a silent movies script,
See that’s the artists palette...
Unknowing of sureness
Always questioning the path, shortcut, and alley way
Suppressed intentions
Great inquisitions always start with the writers.
Never the builders of the city,
That isn’t happenstance, brother.
