the wind

Jon Carter

the driver says
it comes on the wind,
the crazy feelings-
the wild shit.

one call of the wind
and your free will is brutalized on the spot,
murdered without reason,
then you are released into the night.

maybe I can feel it on the wind now...
there is a convincing drive to it
wherever it goes,
I suppose I will go as well.

and when I was a kid I tripped down some
concrete steps
and fell into the stars...
I could still be there.

now the things I see around corners
cripple me.

what is the point of wisdom?
I’m tired of being up here.

insight was what I wanted before
I knew

what insight meant.
