I am witnessing a most masterful display of
cosmetic mannerism
and frankly I find it entirely intriguing like
light passing through a small and simple prism
sometimes I set myself up for too fast a pace
but the thing about my incomparable poetry is
that it never lets me lose my place
dreams are deviant informants to the other side
of the detached senses
so it therefor takes one years to build up available
and adequate defenses
I am not one to peddle on pretenses
the kick up on the fuss is the argument between
fate and coincidences
for those who dream but can never recall doing so
remember at some point everything balances out
and for contemporary confusion you must be
prepared to make all the necessary allowances
heading off all foreseeable bouts of self doubt
after all a bevy of indecisions at best is a
complete farce
the taming of wills is difficult but the abstraction
of forethought is sparse
I ponder over the magic I tap into only in my
isolated nights
life is full of disadvantages but left to them
a woman has certain rights
the highest marks for humanity can only be
found in honor
our own foolish behavior and weaknesses
we must admit so to conquer
as it's been pointed out to me not so long ago
but still before
it's all in the way its stacked
to it there's nothing more
and that my momentary friend make note as
fact for I feel no more need to further explain
nor explore
with or without some measure of tact
so to go any further I say uh huh
no more.............
