simple

 i'm simple

stupid, unimpressed

and unimpressive

but the fires rage

the waters boil

and i churn--

here's something,

here's some more,

which no-one asked for

but here's even more,

i'm honestly sorry;

i can't seem to turn

the spicket off--

here's more dumb shit,

goddamn it, sorry

for taking up space.

here's another.

Childfall

in general

i don't pad corners;

neither, i've noticed

does He.

in arrogance

i let my children

learn from their short falls

to be careful at cliffs.

does He?

well; it seems absurd

that this one is--short.

but the future might

be very tall.

and so, i suppose

he lets his children fall

he lets his children fall

he lets even his children fall

to learn care at the cliffs.
