Set Complete and Let Loose

More vague than unclear the causes cry out an alibi. I choke on sour taste as I attempt to slide by. Feelings bunch up, they crouch within my throat. My tries to set them loose, just cause them to float. I want to make it complete, just take this life and wrap it up all nice and neat. BUT … my scissors edge is bland and they shake in my hand; … my paper is worn and the gold edges torn; plus, my tape won’t adhere - say … have I got the right here? It’s smiles I want in greed’s own count of more. Some wants wash out in contamination's pour of severe thunder-reared, heavily flared dank-air ill aimed at my wants soft dreaming atop mohair.

Would it be lovely if we could package and shelve our lives on display...but it doesn't really work out that way...A conscious poem indeed...All the best CayCay
