we will be one
without none
under the sun

everyone needs a reason
not just for treason

some thrive under treason
others look for a being

someway or another
sister or brother

you will find a way
to have a say

without one
or another

but first you must
discover
another
and another
and another
and another

disconnect melded with malcontent

strewed through common intents

durable perishables

in spite of unmentionables

see if they care

to see if you care

if nothing else

at least you know the least

of the beast

in the shadow

of the teeth

the worst is seen

and never felt

and if it was

would you know it

when it happened?

shove it through the assembly line

in hopes of a separate inclination

away from definite self actualization.


one would hope

to save it

for themselves

if they didn’t want it

for themselves.

calm calculation, rising to cold rationalization

like typical reactions mean accurate representation

of expectation.


if only you were you

then i would be me

and we could see

whats underneath.


instead

we are me

despite of us.

and he is me

marking

the breach of trust.

sharp splinters never seen

grow in forests few and far between

for those not inclined to listening


if i were you

and you were me

we would know immediately


revel in the disparity

rather than

meddle in the revelry

a tippling reminder is the finder.

the top shelf savior fills the timer.

a bond too fated to be a burden,

for fate, as a type, is assured a warden.



decadent findings
are details less grounded.

mindful snappings
of a world rewinding

telephone games fill the mind.
a nimble challenge, to get behind

too easy
to get queasy


test the best
and forget the rest

when the guest says yes
the host fulfills the rest.

meant to be sent
peeled back to rent

and not easily sent.
