Jeffree Michael # 76 A part

If by separated
I go within
knowing too well
separateness cuts-off
disengages others everything
functions attendances malls
meetings duties stuff to do
all dry up
a drought
then I say 
at times
I'm for separate

fresh aires new sphères 
no whirs busy rooms
down the blinds
revolution shut shop
pause and ponder
long-lost communities
moved on
the rebuild's
still underway 
twenty-first century
everyone's a hero
separately

I'm in a place
no thief ever looks
in a heart whose key be mine
overstating subterfuge
perfectly a camouflage
characteristically
just enough to sniff
what it makes
perfume
all the more
sent
to you
