inquiringmind: He wants to reinvent himself
smooth down the rough spots
flatten the edges
pave over those country roads
that roll and turn on their way to sentences.
In control,
he pares away the fat
keeps the lean
a concentrated version.
Softness is a luxury
he can't afford.
He... is becoming city
reptilian and smooth
preparing for his climb
up the hill.
"Can't carry and baggage", he says.
"Radical surgery is called for..."
Pain is a necessary evil
He wants to reinvent himself
Smooth down the rough spots
flatten the edges.
