If Not One Way, Then Another

by robert-ronnow

Thanks for another day Others curse their luck, stale breath Eventually our enemy becomes our brother Cancer checkup, another swinging dick who fears his death To not necessarily sacrifice each and every day for another day I’m going to go to my grave unsung like almost everyone Numerous number systems beyond the real Look one way, from another come the heart’s missed beats One way out of the mind’s limitations is through another mind’s contemplations Another autumn, another election, so aimless and sublime The white egret ate fish after fish, one then another then another... You get a limited number of long walks, so take your time One gives up body and soul but that’s not what I came to talk about Slug the world and the world slugs back It was amusing in my youth that God’s finger could move me to another square Another duality, a day in the woods, jet passing overhead I am in favor of kindness and you prefer concentration camps The slow death of one sometimes makes the sudden murder of another To survive only as many more years as there are petals on a randomly picked (ox-eye) daisy Another winter passing its calling card in at the window One day follows another until the last day and on that day there will be weather
