The difference, no matter how subtle
A speck of a tiny particle
Can cause blindness, can cause pain…

Day 1
Began
What I lost
I willingly gave away
For every inch fought for
Against days laid to waste
To get a sliver of attention
But you should stay on course
Stick to a routine
That allows you to be a kid
Afforded of a comfortable rest
Letting you drift to uninterrupted dreams
At some point,
We just need to be told
This has none
To do with
How you live
I used to stare at my watch
Seeing how slow a minute arrives
To the next
Working at the moviehouse
You learn things about
How they build up the first 20 minutes
Asking you to invest emotions
To the protagonist
And how he could be you
In a bind
With choices you’d take
The last 20 will always be about How the first act plays out
Against the third
I did the math
And drawn a conclusion and that
Cut the unhappy drag
Is the best option for all to function
My name is Dan Aubrey II. There is no Dan Aubrey I. It’s a result of a conflicted collaboration and time stamp of where my parents were in their imperiled union.

Please don’t equate silence with laziness
Or some form of complicit
Surrender or defeat
To elements that threaten
Though natural or inevitable
October digests differently
Approaching a finish line
Of a race that doesn’t really ends
Until your heart stops
October is when I put my head down
Compensate for lost time
Wasted in jawing about
Creating
Then I don’t
There’ll be glimpses
Here and there
Persuasive to tilt
