indomitable ocean
love so like literature
touches many craggy corners of one's
rough draft life
we are but a work in progress
chapters penned
moments contemplated
bitter once memories when readdressed
speak volumes on ideas of what beauty was is and could likely further be
therapy gone well perhaps
or just a misfit in a pinstripe suit singing Jingle Bells to a spring calf along highway 32
mysteries translate the common
speaking in silent gestures that deaf people long ago learned how to interpret
Its a long lunch among equals
a solve less incrimination
radical profiling done in Romper Room fashion
in a never vacuumed enough society
even Betty Crocker has had a bad hair day
where one sees fashion another cringes in disgust
we grew up while we were still crawling in our Carters
and we've seen every page of the latest book before its even published
is it the media or our own hunger for reaffirmation of all our negative beliefs inside us that makes the world around us seem so horrible and jaded
its an equal parts pie I personally believe
if you can see one shred of goodness in even the worst life shows us
then it tops the heap of the trillion fold ugly
piled around it..........
