16,289. PEACE-PIPE

PEACE-PIPE
I'm bringing all my knots to an unfrazzle 
lately, and I'm not sure where to turn. The
neon-character fellow I used to know seems
so different now. Because it's not a frazzle,
I really can't draw it all back in. Though I like
the silence, and welcome even the semblance
of rage, my iced-up personal woes start running.
-
I walk with untied laces, my clown-shoes flopping 
around. The noises out here are made of nothing
but dog barks, and they grow tiresome too. Same
old same old. If I was Indian, my walkabout would
start right now; my peace pipe thrown in the lake.
