access not excess
i give myself
as an excuse to relieve
the guilt trip.
but still i am
tripping on guilt,
falling that long, embarrassing fall
in slow motion
in front of some notorious crowd,
as always.
a step up on previous ways.
i am still short
of that graceful walk.
someday, in shoes that fit,
i will glide through my notorious psyche
on rollerskates,
with swan arabesque
70's disco style.
until then,
excuse all that wasted time
in slow motion.
