OUTER LIMITS

BlankOUTER LIMITS 
  as I have grown older 
  welding into the space 
  around me 
  molding 
  this face 
  this place 
  I am growing old in 
  forming my destiny 
  history 
  gains impetus 
  anxious space filling occurs 
  this place I grow up in 
  it surrounds 
  it preserves 
  and reassembles the yester 
  a teezing time tester 
  festering on the yester 
  has become second nature 
  or do I mean first nature? 
  re-adjusting my future 
  it slips 
  it slides 
  my continual compromise 
  here I am stranded 
  adapting to the outer 
  limits which encase me 
  cannot see cannot see 
  through my own definitions 
  those intricate delusions 
  I lap the sap 
  lick up the languid haze 
  swim in an emotional maze 
  with my droopy lazy ways 
  with a memory so muzzy 
  I am mutating in many ways 
  my myth 
  inner pith 
  core of the sore bits 
  pinkie and poking through 
  no presto to show 
  I know we know 
  we the core and I know 
  existence is getting shorter 
  regular and no rejoinder 
  response for ever smaller 
  space of which we al conform 
  and gradually lose thy pace 
  to the ever accelerating 
  outer limits
