Improbabilities: I Will

puzzle at my closet door for hours
agree with the mirror

wear GQ clothing
take arms against my issues
eat up the latest trends
gear up for a new season

be true to my word
be fitter, happier, better, longer

spirit away the stress
snake past the guards
divide the adversaries
game Satan to distraction
lie in wait
storm the walls of your prison
sing for the release of your hair
kiss you
rock your world
fuck you up

tell you a bedtime story
believe what I’m saying
tuck you in

say goodnight now
stay up for hours
push it and push it
promise myself a better tomorrow
get up early
do the dishes
get some work done
forget you exist

be a motif
be a recurrent dream
live cliche
open myself to critique
smile at the argument
cover my ass 

keep on keeping on
