Life spins me around, pigmying 1st impressions Bribing Bible translations, pretending to think My trailing dress of Victorian silhouette, antiques daily necessity Humble gurus stammer over every sentence Mastering secondary nature as my mind’s eye Entering the great scheme of positive objectives Being the daughter of a depression child I dread the cold standing in the unemployment line Holy Silence is far from contradiction It is floods of powers arcane, the gold-makers Hope plays hide and seek among the crowds Grabs me by both arms and kisses me long and hard Right then I know what I must do While the sidewalks sing in a chorus line Melting all my silver down, into grab bags I recognized what the salt of the earth is It is not artificially inseminated, but more sensibly real Wicked will, forestanding enormous critique With a fashion all of it’s own, not trendy but Gaining great popularity There is a suppression of academic improvement The corners of my mouth dry and chafe While I hold tight to that strange and wondrous tale Myth or magic blown to the winds of prophecy Like a garden globe I don’t know about you, but I’m going to put Some liquid plumber down my drains Preventative maintenance you know, In hopes by noon, the Swami will come to lunch He simply knows the right times And never stays over his welcome Molding a globe pious and meek, folding forgiveness His Tabernacle, my failures…becoming true believers I’ve decided to hitherto the nursing mother Full udder of well-meaning He disagrees but nods and allows So I move my rook, coup de grace I lose but don’t mind a bit And donate all my organs I hope the pioneer in me doesn’t come up short I know how to live off the land How to fish and hunt What I don’t know is, how long eternal damnations lasts? And if, this world will be better for the next generation All I can do is try to tidy up morning breakfast dishes Write some music, indulging in hypothetical questions Planting ancestral wars, as I’m a believer in spiritual appearance And growth It’s not the words at play, it’s more so, in the way they move I have a date with the old parks of the world It’s a warm summer night, but I’d better take a wrap Cause you never know what internal conditions Might come up which are the effects and causes Of all decisions. |

LeeJ "It’s a warm summer night, but I’d better take a wrap" It's always a good idea to be prepared. You're a very smart lady, I think...I wish you well, but I think you'll be fine anyway. A great poem!  |
