through themes in recurring conversations
i found myself in the towns
east of lake michigan.
fueled by an unnamed desperation
i set in a quest for a shared narration,
and i thought back
to moments i had listened for.
like how the northern lands untouched
were of the beauties not yet lost,
but how the urban landscapes
remained unlivable.
or how the buildings of detroit
were home to the broken dreams of men,
and in the shell of industry, emasculation.
i thought to a sad, yet common story:
a man who found narcotic glory,
with nothing left to lose save wife and family.
and i thought
"if all the kids in michigan
are miserable or nihilistic,
or caught in the traps
of the games they're playing,
what does it say for a shared narration?"
