street life

i've left the old stars behind
to go on a misadventure.
they burned out a long time ago
anyways. traveling like a sloth
via powerlines. the new stars
are closer here, there's another
every twenty yards.
i'm the part of a tree
that never shows its face.
the teeth that a smile never exposes.
a public access channel, and you'll never
see the irony. i was trying
to test my endurance. i meant to come back.
i'm just so tired.
a dream you keep waking up from.
a dislocation.
when the power goes out and i fall.
now we're even.
