I have adventures in mind 'cause I'm playing the undercovers agent tonight . . .
I'll stalk dark streets, pocketing all the lamppost light, keeping underfoot
all my feats and stumbling softly, I'll put danger in routine
and wear your worry until it's worn and falls off me. Sometimes our rhymes
don't match up perfectly. In fact, when I bypass your window blinds things might slant entirely:
We might be downshifting fast off onramps, on offramps, amping awfully our heart- beat basslines and opening eyes to blurred buildings as we fling stolen moon- light out the sunroof and let the city short-circuit our dreams alive. [End Page 87]
Take a breath from my airbag, stop worrying about the rest
that you're not getting sitting up in bed distressed. You're the coolest
upper this side of a down pillow and I'll keep you pressed underneath
with my other donations to maturity like lost hair and teeth. We may be conversely tied
but if we play on words enough, we can turn any downside up and in slumberous strides make it through our dreams alive.
Jason Kaleko has been described as subtle, but deliberate, by his colleagues. Although his middle name is just Thomas, he tries to take risks and leave readers speechless. He longs for financial stability through screenwriting and is a Jets fan who thinks aloud when Pennington throws picks. Jason doesn’t dare to dream, but dreams about daring, and occasionally inks these ideas onto paper, in stanzas. He enjoys designing T-shirts, playing guitar, and freestyle rap. He attends Carnegie Mellon University and is 5’ 10,” dirty blonde with blue eyes, probably single and loves to be googled.
