So many qualms
about so many tasks
that none of them would satisfy,
and ambitions,
in their vacuousness: begone!

So fatalism is cruel,
and you are what you think.
But about Waste and Want:
what can be done ?
I don't know...
I don't know!

. . .  I don't know, probably medication.

Optimists and Pessimists remind
That the moon knows not it's own shadow,
Or to be kind to the desert sun.
                                                        
                                                    (Midnight, Noon, Midnight, Noon).
Light: an unstoppable force,
Dark: an immovable object.
                                                         ­                       (Twilight, Twilight).
Dead leaves turn into rot,
Seeds turn rot into leaves.
                                                         ­                        (Equinox, Equinox).
Check my watch,
Look at the sky-

(Leap year).

The opposite of thinking is a breathing of the mind.

This is not mine.

The opposite of holding on is leaving slow.

This I don't know.

What are the words in the way of thought?

This I forgot.

Self ridicule, the antonym of a tool, but always kept handy.
Enduring desolation,
Inveterate stagnation.
Solitary despondence; the promise; this poison kills.
A fist versus brick and mortar, place your bets.
Roll loaded dice to prove-
And you don't need an ultimatum to know-
Cold, crazy or familiar, either way-
People in stone houses shouldn't throw glass.

Your price of niceties is too high for me
For I've been choking on spoon-fed complacency
Corporate crime blinding us to atrocity.
Dropping, down go the dissidents-
Incitors of an unknown breed
They're mutilated sheep,
Killing the tamers
of a tenacious nation-
Rallying me.

This is far from stumble.
This is weep and kneel,
but muted,
like squeezing information from a rock.
There's catching yourself failing
and when you actually failed.
You forgot,
forgot to write it down first,
then Forgot.
You have to sit with that,
cause it was-- **** was so good.
And when you wake up
tomorrow,
at 4 pm, sober, and read
this
you'll hopefully
have a headache
and know better.
