Excuses

I have no brillance
as decadent decades
drowned into dullness
whatever light as promise
to animate a rosy write.

I have no sparkle,
or swirling syncopation
to proselytize, legitimize
this fling towards
imagined immortality.

I have no positive
uplifting union
ultimately here weighed down
by reality dawns
that creak trhough bones
fortuitously flung
towards creativity.

I am lazy.

What the hell are you doing. Now I gotta go get my dictionary. Damn 5th grade was the best 3 years of my life. Hey! Glad to hear from you. Have a great one. Vince
