i don't know
if i really miss anything
or anyone
anymore

my mind is set
to accept the now
to embrace
what is
and to ignore
the uncomfortable & galling

it's easier nowadays
to dismiss
cut off
& end
that which doesn't fit
those
who don't understand
   the skeptical
& uninterested
   the fakes
   phonies
   & wannabe's
who are easily molded
swayed
and convinced

i want the strong
the sure
and the queer
i'll take the weird
& unconventional
cocky clowns
who dwell on today
who've dismissed yesterday
and who look forward to tomorrow

i would claim them
as my perfect army
of delicious misfits
who quell for the status
of being obscure
