TODAY
take their sanity
from small moments
see frowns exasperated
hope to catch lucky upswings
ride in on the front car
of unknowable love tunnels
water their sagged plants
watch owing reach growth
lost escapes to vertical
linear imaginations
are unfaultedly unaware
of greater sinister forces
maybe don't have left
overs enough to care
lower turnouts are rampant
are apatheticly viewing
even for insomniacs
sleepwalk seems perfect
vacation but dutifully
remain bagged under eyes
awake and bleary
care more about immediate
vicinity of subjectivity
as it should be
don't watch expected
someone else to
need to live happier
know they have dwindled
choices every day
see their piece multiplied by
constant bites before
even slapping on to cold plates
cling hope to each other
judge survival methods
with loosening gravity
are angered at corruption
will be forced to do plays
in disingenuous ways
love more than suspected
are regular folk
will soon pace streets
have kids to feed
need secondly reminders
have need of heart
have a life to pray
would not have time
nor energy left in a day
to care for buy or read
anything I or you
have to say
think like me
that understandably
disinterest in my heart
words every day
is a forgivable
more than okay
