The Fighting Act Is the Final Act

"the fighting act is the final act"


Buzz Lightyear under the elephant.
the bear on an air mattress.
Gould locked in a rectangular box.
the young man behind the old man.

what they try to kill.

those addicted to the crowd will
die in the crowd.
those addicted to the dollar will
accuse many of stealing.

keep typing.

time will pass and those
that hide behind their addiction
to attention, will fade into a box
full of Robin drops.

rising to the top is a choice.

love the question and it’s life
giving purpose.

I’ll never be in Wrigley field
but I can live dying in L.A.
