must you always remember so to make me further myself
forget
must you need and lose everything all for the sake of one senseless bet
you always say but still I have to ask
even though when I do you quickly bring me around to task
"Is This Really As Good As Its Bound To Get?'
true fathers of foolishness do not let themselves fret
time seems to sometimes stop to take hold of your unfortunate hand
or it can turn and buckle the knees making it even more difficult for you to stand
your kind of uninterrupted vision stands when its able
so often alert and alone
making points once impossible possible and things generally unknown known
the past, present and future brush together and
seductively wait for your next creative call
what do you for many in the eyes of the opposing others
makes my gesture of giving something back seem so
pitiful and small
pardon me now while I put up just one more
knock-down-able writer's wall
but for a short time only will my verbal bad knees
allow me the dismal grace to crawl.........
