Polygons

Polygons

Tricontadogon peg, round hole, trying to compute this role

Wasting this life waiting and maintaining a patient persistence

Knowing no one is ever going to walk up with the correctly sized portal

For this obtuse polygon mortal

One two many, and three less

Thirty two years of quilt patch regrets

Genetics in a slug fest, stunted height truncates the lot down into smaller flights

Location like a prison station on Elba, an island to row out to and no visitors coming through

The more I am here the more I want to move, nothing here, but complaints

A travesty of bartered nights piling up in reasons to stagnate

To shed the identity of the man that I could become for my truncated self

Resigned on the precipice of this hell to repeat for a semi-eternity

The maturation of my offspring like a recoiling spring stretched out

Constantly returning here in a boomerang ball and chain hindering and helping

Love in all its forms, the differences in the astringents to apply that make

So many see none of this as a possibility, even myself

A life on hold, like a magnet with only south poles, how can this ever work?

Captivated and mandated to a bargain with a lesser God I was unaware I contracted

My mind like a tempest constantly brewing, considering linguistic acrobatics    

Spewing word after word like a testament burned like a brand

Glowing in red smelt tingeing black absent of grasps that these books need to be read

I must share this swell and find an equilibrium in her arms and

These women seem to wade in shallow waters unable to respond to the maelstrom within me

And I feel like a singular circus freak performing in a chicken cage

Alienating in my façade, disturbing in my story, gray hairs growing and choices tethered

Travel plans truncated, sliced and diced this decade into incomplete harvests

Praying for a family like a sip to parch the thirst of this Antarctic desert

Vagabond love a conundrum of undulating principles bellowing under a Who Dat sun

Praying for a luminous rebirth, help me find you
