The jackpot’s guaranteed
yet still the itch of palm
to feel the grain and texture
of immortal love
and the scratch, scratch, scratch,
of searching minds
sends the itch a-creeping
deeper, deeper, deep,
into the psyche, see?

And so the body jiggles  
and squirms in the lamplights
of oncoming obstacles
planned to coincide
with an indecorous stretch
into the mystical.  

But this … this surreptitious invasion
works silently and stealthily
to satisfy the psyche
by whatever means
fits the circumstances.

And so there’s pain and no gain,
and so an illness, poverty,
together with the so and so,
the so and so of how life goes  
before the knowing that ~

immortal love is just an itch
no human being can scratch
or dent, or break, or disengage
from the psyche, see?

Thanks, LeeJ, and thank goodness for antidotes! It would be hard for me to live without one.
