Hair, PETCO job application

The iceberg melts in the
Vegas heat, alone and
bewildered by the ghosts

of what could have been.
A year of forced abstinence
and an uncertain future

prove to be what Vietnam
veterans would call
SN:AFU.

But that's okay, because
my head moves by my heart,
if those fists in the air

at Seattle's infamous May Day

say anything. A comforting
truth midst an ocean of un-
certainty, waiting, waiting.

Waiting for another life
to begin, to reinvent because
this skin is old, old, old.
