Said a Sagittarius to the waves

my dreams always insist  
i kiss you goodbye  
[bastard subconscious]  
and i resent  
it  
 
but  
it  
[we]  
were already filed and classified  
by  
the rotation of Saturn  
where the sun shone  
at which degrees the planets sat  
at the hours of our births  
 
my sun:  
the yang archer had me hit  
before i even met you  
balanced my fire  
with your roughly settled elements  
set me  
like  
the stubborn fucking stars  
that do not  
move  
for anyone  
 
Saturn's intrusion  
on our stone-step path to  
a rather adventurous zen  
says that  
our steam power  
could  
send us flying  
 
but  
i  
[bastard subconscious]  
will catch  
on practicalities:  
consideration  
for someone else  
 
and because this shit  
is supposedly foretold  
i'm more keen  
to smash it  
really  
to man the death star  
and blast Saturn back to dust  
 
but maybe  
the mapping/watching/scrying/prediction  
is all just  
children  
playing hopscotch with the cosmos  
landing confidently on the numbers  
that make most sense to their feet  
 
and i am quite complete, after all*
