Intermix
By: Husam (Sam) Salman
Nothing goes undefined
If you have the answers
You have those answers.
The song streaming slowly
From Pandora
Is Boy Trouble by Benoit & Sergio.
Bragging rights for fashions
Those are typically
Worn in/out by ones noted
As fashion don’ts.
Couples are like atoms,
They don’t want
To be split.
Once in a while
When we hang
And you ask me
About what I think;
my mind
Collides with yours –
Some fusion is made
Sometimes
Unknown results.
Data, matter, scattered thoughts
Little by little
It starts to make scene
I become defined in the picture
You so desperately
Want to paint me in;
My hand motions you a stoke
Of awareness as to who I am.
Ah
I melted with you
Just then
In that moment
With god
With everything
Light and
Dark.
Like a tree bloomed
In seconds in my mind
Branches of knowledge
Like universe
Expanding eternal.
The honking horn
The turning SUV
The fallen motorcyclist
JUST THEN
Everyone on that corner woke up
Iimmediately !!
Why should I feel
Bad about fashion?
What comes after the post-modernist?
The other side - I’m with them…
It’s a revolution
Just you sleep at night
In your ruse of mid-century survival
Looking crazy as all get out
When nothing stays the same
For more than a second –
What then?
Did you know
We were placed here
To intermix
And find out what’s next?
