Palms Reads

As afraid as always Evolution is crawling from the sea Alive with urgency like suicide, like suicide Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough muffled murmur Sneaking through the lecture hall The crawl across the island The sound of wave's embodied water sprouting legs as loud as a gallop Cuffing down on ground against the cries of gravity All the young people who took a leap without faith Into a riverbed that drowns about as much as it saves All the young cowards acting out for the brave forever hurled Into the waters of their indifferent graves Belly-up, half buried in the sand Extend a hand to the smallness of death Understand that only dying is this colossal Creation shedding skin to find a perfect equilibrium like fossils For a million years, raise your glass in cheers We will never answer where we came from only how we got here
