I'm older than dirt and you are
breathing on land for the first
time. I want to shake my finger
at you and say get off my lawn.
Please understand I stood in
your frames of life seconds ago.
We're born in hubris and die
in sorrowful feeble humility.
I wrote **** poetry at 20.
I hope I write better **** at 70.
The poetry I read from young
poets here is amazing.
Your poems will steer your
generation. Be the conscience.

You imagine that ****.
Kingdom come?
Larry Mar 2020
I've ran long
ran short too.
Obstacles many
Appearances few.

I've found ways over, under & around;
found ways straight-thru.
I've been unwilling and ignorant;
been thoughtfully anew.
I've taken up arms retaliating;
taken a level-path which evenly grew.
I've seen hindrances often ugly;
seen shackles fall right in-two.

And so I've:
Lost touch in reality/accurately ran afoul-
written: "cuckoo".
Been brought back w/ composure reigning
gaining substantially in all I knew.
Numerosity in thoughts thunk in mediocrity:
an ignoramus thru&through;
relived this issue on account indifferently
so many times, uniquely, it's now in view.

I've had days of intrinsic-horror;
had days so beautiful wouldn't relate too.
Obstacles aplenty
Memories blessedly-due.

But I'll:
Stay on this route forever;
onto another more enticing comes in lieu.
Admit my rock-bottom the autumn dregs;
my Family- I'm fortunate to be born into.
Add that my grasp was idle until my crawling;
that was fruitful for me useful a cue:
my grasp became prior reason ordained
fit for me its only use.
* Not a toast for me to boast.

Song Lyrics by Z.
~·~
I
just
want
to say:

"*******.
*******."
Everyday.
[ev·ree·dey]
Every Day.
[ev·ree dey]

I just want to say,
"*******,
*******,
Every Day."
[eve·ry day]
Everyday.
[eve·ry·day]

And
I know
that I could be
an *******. Maybe...
And I know that I should
apologize for me
...Lately?

But
I know that also
that day
is
not
today.

I just want to say:
"******* *******."
Every Day.
[Eve·ry Day]
Every Day.
[Eve·ry·day]

I
just
want
to say:

*******:
*******.
Every Day.
[Every-Day?]
Everyday.
[Everyday!]

In typical-fashion coupled w/ flair-
Z. demonstrates his aptitude
to speak-up for all of those
unwilling, unable or unaware.
For some, it's casually; others, perhaps often.
But for me? It's Everyday.

(my-way
a kind-gesture)
of disinclining:

-Mon 1:08 AM-
My **** gone lame
from the time my name
reaching-out the same
a text-back in vain.
[line-break]
For my super-Dude, Z.
