*The Cubs, The Dog and the
Greatest Leader in the World^

~

humble lives in the spaces in between
our toes and eyes,
where the miracle occurs,
that linty dirt
returns of its own free will

we wash our faces dailies
of the night's crusted leavings
gift of
The Elusives^

a kinda kissy poke in the eye
lest u think stink,
u get a prideful notion of a
a clean start - ha!

the stubble assiduously removed prior,
returns with a scratchy salutation,

"good morning and *******,
you ain't the boss"

just in case u think u got it
rightly wrongheaded
and a passing stray filled your
grateful deadheaded
notional still prone brain,
you,
are
master of the universe,
greatest leader in the world,

go back to bed
it's the weekend

after you walk the dog

That is ridiculous.
