Always Is

penchants for doing things the right way
unhinge the knighted sky shot full with holes
twinkle twinkle little star, you burn so very 
bright, where have you all gone? home you say, 
dancing the edges of madness’ thin veils 
containment slotted through the IS’s of
consecutive sequenced selfs, unawakened
self-righteous indignation, plagiarize the
potential for adulterated emotions
conspicuous lapse of good judgment
right the scales of too much this or that, 
the arms of balance form both positive 
and always behind the seen, negative imagery 
this land whirls the positive insisting it’s 
our only reality of expression, negative quivers 
with pretence experienced as a landscape 
of oblivion ensued from forgetfulness...always is 
a this and a that, a hat and a cat, a louse and a mouse.
Always is...
