Polarized Planets

Contrived is how it is
incessantly demanding
jaw snap and tantrum
its alarming attention
offers but greedy promises
fulfilled by drooling idiots

The bubble bursting
in miming smashed flowers and peoples heads
extension cables attached
to connect their errant souls

In high rise windows
hides the ecstasy of open skies

Each component all of use
and no use, to use, or not use at all
states its claim of necessity
all those things of slavery
but must function

My toes scraped at earth
cushions on the blades of grass
did these eyes eat at bark
and of mornings petal
expand my blood

As if waking from a perfect nights sigh
I have lost my way
being of gypsy
but a life time of nature tenancy
and all this tiny little world is enough for me

Drowsy
lazy
silence comes naturally 
and in such flippant garb
a spindles thread of destiny
weaves some pertinent web

Rest upon the Dandelions head
orthopteran chirping    
as I slip the clouds
and ponderously ponder nothing
the sun is talking to my skin
