A Life Bereft of Healthy Risk
A Life Bereft Of Healthy Risk = >
Absolute Zero Value
Spectator role questioned,
(sans existence, no more
relegated to sidelines), else
yours truly cannot endure
foregoing one after another
golden opportunity to restore
adrenaline rush say jumping
without parachute, (egg nor
ring danger), yea donning wax
feather & wax wings like yore
Greek Icarus, the Greek son
of Daedalus, who did ignore
sage counsel, and blithely fore
went and did not heed score
one, asper plunging to death
yes, a myth, but trotted out
communicating, how I do abhor
venturing off the tried and
true path of familiarity sure
lee avoiding, though contempt
chew us of insularity, + predict
ability nonetheless found call
lore ring within figurative lines
falsely cocooned against popular
misconception exemption threat
ten ning body, mind, or spirit more
to appease false sense of security,
hence, I share plight with Alice in
Chains, not so wonderland deplore
ring this man in the box chicken
s**t to roost stirring outside floor
rill and fauna of invisible walled
din existence ruminating...glore
re: us such insane notion tubby
abducted, kidnapped, stolen...,
no ransom $ asked 4 herbivore
writer of such questionable whim
just airing such nonsense appeases
foolish of this pug nose schnorrer!
