LA AIRPORT REVERIE

payment in strife

a calm meanness

runs a muck now

only to crawl later

throughout my sweeter

unshared thoughts

but who am I kidding

as all my thoughts

get shared

eventually

I understand more of

what I am saying

these fast thawing days

Before

never shot up

such drug as acceptance

so well

perhaps the stilted reverie

may turn on me and recant

but Worry holds no finer stock

than the built in adversity of

Can't

and these dark awnings of life

that I've been living under

are being renovated with each

new degree of

self esteem realized

self esteem earned and

self esteem regained

speak no evil to the face of

chance

and chance won't even care enough

to think to intervene

and the once weariness will finally

grow strong enough wings

alas

to fly far far away

teaching the soul

that Life is a body of many lessons

yet to be learned

built on the ever shifting foundation

of consequence

so take plenty of notes as you go......

   LA TIME!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written while on a 6 hour lay over coming back from my trip in Australia. I sat and watched all the people passing through LAX airport.
