As If Living
__________


Confounded by indifference
the spell, the smell, the well
dug into deeper rock lain bare
longer than life itself … but!
it all was born of sense on fire;

Dupree ordered gates shut tight
as the air-borne flea circus
juggled the aromas of yesterday
not caring one iota of any hope
for gleaming future imaginings;

Betrayal must have reason to take
time to utter the sound – 'ut' - 'ter'
drawn in eclipses from beyond,
the comprehension of mind
whittles away at bark inlay...chipchip;

The sneeze captured in a moment
of seconds for the hungry mouths,
who have no jury to pass judgement
upon their willingness to scream at
...at...at those who chose to play dead;

Miracles were devised by necessity,
Solar Systems in the billions spin
in unison around the mysterious un-
known as sun, sol, spinning eternal
as soul could possibly comprehend;

Toss it all into a fable written in signs
that stare back at the reader and guffaw
bringing confusion to the other wise one
standing in the blackened shadows
chuckling… gleefully… as if living.

[no know better (to) better know no]

living is what you make it
assuming you have the affluent means
but for those of us that have some wiggle room
choose wisely, make the best of what you have
and help those that aren't as lucky as you

nice wordplay and concepts
