when

got just enough of the little lightnings lit      
to wanna stack together a few nickels      
get a semi reliable whip      
admit to myself      
that a few of my chops      
could catch a few clams      
     
but not with these words      
     
these words are third party notaries      
specifying that the author is not:      
       
 seeing distance shores      
 because his belly's full, because  
 the ganja goes through to next week      
 the tobacco goes two, three days      
 the rent is caught up      
 for the entire fucking month    
     
 is not swept up in mere mania    
          
it's the little lightnings lining up      
signing my name to paychecks      
earned overtime      
without my own hand in the way      
     
it's the anchor being pulled      
by the wind telling the author      
when it's time to go
