Replicas of calibrated handshakes,
captured screen-shot 
search engine eyes,
       silent in the deep darlings
       of purple prose,
 canons of instant articles of diction:

Taoists aren’t too quick to judge;
Machiavellians have mothers, too.  But,
stirring anger to prance 
       in the unknown
       is not in our nature
       to prevail.

So Be without expecting expectation,
try while not trying,
and take nothing
to keep no more than now. 

A minute steak for breakfast everyday,
cut and pastes a concise future 
in a poem from,
predicted, or taken

from an abandoned URL.

Oh, Wes, I now see that in the third line from below it says "in a poem from". I think you can leave out "from", because it returns in the last line.
