crossroads 

            he did his damnedest to avoid them 

particular if soil at its corners was disturbed 

he preferred circles to squares an corners

a corner an edge could take an eye out

a blunt round could bruise him

blind him temporarily

but sight restored

hed find the shit

not revenge

reprisal

balance restored

equilibrium repaired

feet on the ground spine realignedflung upright eyes staring out of his skull atop his stack his tower  his house

assault at your own risk

he was familiar with the grounds  its layout

blueprint  2-dimensional

crazy the difference in 3-dimensions excuse me  demonsions  his demons demonstrating  not a crossfire to enter  entertain but some just cant help themselves

let em die

let em cop a temporary pause  

let em return to learn lessons that anyone other than an idiot would learn 

his eyes werent blackthey were blue seein em in the light youd see they were 

lights necessary

their blue was darkened by his convictions

but catch him on a day a day without implication or stress bright blue with green sparkles but she was enamoured  

he took the hint

he loved watching her big hazel eyes while she gave him head   

kissing her mouth when she finished

smelling her breath as she panted in his face as they fucked

she didnt make twenty  died in a car wreck   she wasnt driving

but she was still with himHis eyes she replied to the drivers ed instructor  His eyes are bright blue bright blue with green sparkles

still with him

a crossroad had taken her out 

T-boned

impact on the passengers side

her wake 

a closed coffin

there wasnt enough for the funereal home to work with

he thumbed an Ace Jokers card she gave him  Dont ever say I never give you anything but sex 

Games echre sap not to be confused with the eucharist You can take me to church to fuck  but not otherwise

the Joker was worn mighty thin 

                                  it went everywhere he did

over the years since

as she did

he gave crossroads wide berths
