They'll make you feel inadequate
to make them seem invincible,
but feeling anything at all
would make me feel alive.

When
the time that never surfaces,
despairing any entrances from biblical Samaritans then
I wonder if it was the time to search out in old literature
meanings that could mean to me or give apocolyptic epiphany
and still
it's good to feel alive,

nine to five was never on
they always wanted more
and John was seldom
willing to accept
and now it's gone

should I
who've climbed the mountain
ascertain that it's a trap to lull
me into feelings of security and
believe that in their potency
my feelings of inadequacy
are justified,
then bury me for I have died.


Monday morning blue again
but good to feel a little pain
that also makes me feel
alive.
