my headless wit will fast run out of steam
until all projections of what I consider viable
will somehow fail to be redeemed
and the light will awake among a sizable darkness
to find no horizon on which to dream
these very inflated fears are what splits one of
many of my favorite inner schemes
the incentive least foul decides my pending fate
since simplicity itself disregards my wishes at
any rate
there is no acceptable justice when all that is
important is put on the line
history take note of this supposed talent that
I possess
it will remain forever mine
for it is my sole need that gives birth to near
indescribable happiness
when I find I have grown quite immune to any
negativity
I will then know that I have stood at last to
conquer my best......................
