Settle: A Letter to the Editor
To be
Tyler the Creator
or
Pauletta Hansel—
Tell me
what form did you
choose
and when did you
settle?
What is in a poet
sad feelings
the scope to endure
the power to share—
maybe later recovery
and building others
who remind me of
when I was
in a different place
unwilling to fling myself
from the cliff face
unknowing the precipice
was the easiest way
to reincarnate,
to hide the old self away
and try someone else’s view:
morning
I break on through to the other side
night
Prokofiev reminds me of my
battle on ice.
I don’t think I know settle:
Confessional,
Neo Dada on PC,
Consciousness Reflections, by the Stream
so when does the settle sneak up on you?

Fling myself from the cliff face unknowing the precipice….great line! Good poem.
I myself wonder how Pauletta Hansel settled upon being Pauletta Hansel? Nice trick, that. 😉
