To Day
I allude subjects dressed as
black memorials. I hate attending
gray eulogized gatherings filled
with stereotypical colloquialisms
dressed in puke hued green.
Why? As a prose freak of lines,
I engender christianese choking
the very life out of hope. There aren’t
any reliable daydreams charismatically
afloat, just biding time until the next
dark cycle. I did however attend a
meeting of the minds as the sun rose
unimpressed with the vintage of earth.
Let me defer to yesteryears when
love was tender and life was aghast
with yucky booger eating boys and
their ghastly bugs and critters. And
dark thirty was the right time to steal
kisses, just inches shy of streetlight
shadows of the opera.
While harmless caveats of thick skinned
and doting elders dressed in shades of
white buckled shining armour, riddle us
life’s never promised thorn-free, hybrid,
organic food for thought.
Experience, however, promises fields
of sown seeds ripe with a harvest of
our good, bad and ugly. Look past gone,
accept now, and race to tomorrow.
