shinners

it feels like there's been someone here
someone poking around
eyes have been on this room
and these things inside

visible finger prints
and smudges from a viewer
with perfect hygiene
and the curiosity of a cat

the hair on the back of my neck
tells me you are on your way
to places that I have always seen
where I wanted to go

i have the typical skate wounds
the open lower back
the shinner, sore wrists

and this might be my future,
a life of simple pleasures
and a head kept down
hard at work

your effortless is your magic carpet,
and I always felt natural.....
