some believe in the deity
others in the sanctity of self
I think poetry is a religion
a soul unto itself
not a god
but close
and I seek her his its
calming words
wisdom
to get on my knees
and worship
every night
alone
here
in my sanctuary
like any
true believer

how deranged , can
I do letters , arrange
verbs
displayed black on white
noun verbally
portray points
of my brain taking in
electrical impulse
pulses painting reality,
neurologically composed symphonies
I give in to it.

was never is
was enshrouded in fog
of could
might a could have been
where maybe
was said
then

came a might
could stood up
would cleared the fog
and was became
did and done

been was over and now
then aware of dreams,
I awoke.

is just is us is in it
justice to each other is there
lettuce if we change the letters a tad
it's there
carrying you to bed after you fall asleep on my
shoulder is in us
us
is a letter under your pillow
I left just (there it was)
because (again) I love you
cousins has it too
but not anywhere near
what
we do (even though those two letters are missing): I try to be us
I wushed the dushes
without you having to ask

Absquatulate,
           flee to the unknown,
where I can be an organism
            of concinnity,
deipnosophist I will,
            dine with Plato on an herb
deracinate me,
             become a dance or song
with effable eternity
flatline...

to infinity,
or possibly....

continue to hunt and peck.

Let a company that according to an article on Yahoo, "reported net profit of 620.1 million through Feb. 1, 2014" paid their CEO, some poor soul named Ronald Sargent, " 10.8 million in total compensation", let's stand by when they say in response to our president's comments about how they limit their employees to 25 hrs a week, "Unfortunately, the president appears not to have all the facts".....
let all of America work no more than 25 hrs, I am ******, so companies and rich CEO's and all the rich investors can get richer while their employees suffer. American way?
The president had plenty of facts for me.
