It’s a rush for sure into the brain
when thoughts become as true intent
but shake the head and I do that
to see the lift and fly-away
of what was meant to be.

Modern methods, modern times,
and intent begets no action
like a foetus loosened from the womb
too soon after conception.

‘Tis a sickness wild and rampant
and this disease of shake, shake, shake,
unseen but meaningful
in the deciding and divining
of everybody’s future.

And the “do it” like our merry spring
silent in the background
of winter’s icy chills
waiting to blossom forth
a happy transformation.

Spring will come a-bouncing in
full of vigour, vim, and zeal
and I hope it leaves again
uncontaminated!

Thanks M - a shake, rattle, and roll sure beats the shake, shake, shake.
