To Whom It May Unconcern

How can you tell when you've hit bottom and it's time to abandon "ship"-does it stare you in the falseface and wipe your browmemory clean cool of fun classics, milling around in poor daylight low of love compromise and mean mode idiosyncrasies obliging for no one's realsake but hanging by a nose thread to a course coarse curve enlivened by a renal renaissance mercury---wide base of support newcomer setting in for the long haul given p residence a timely sage too old for this x@#$%* yet too youngf for climate of clipped communication neverstrife, appealing to all yes-too many no, too few---104 degrees FF brain on fire dry ice income shedding short circuited sillosynapse conglomerates crazy for passion + lust intro infusion---two part flesh, one part soul a pinch of carnal rich renderings. Simmer ever slowly over a lucid lifetime at harmony in law degrees--slowly stirring the emotes frequently--too many nights of uncelebrated reruns taunt the VHF cable return whereas I we my you life by UHF dial dimensions captured like a worn heel on a new shoe somewhat skuffed and worn and innappropriate for a white wedding day.Stand in the back--hope no anyone looks down at the foot floor and sees my toe reflection talking--indescent exposure while teetering on a limbscape construct--folly like fortunes unabashed qualities go unnoticed through ingoblame and slug selfes-esteams balancing on a creepy catwalk of roma and comatose initiatives that flatline at midnight in a morbid midnight corridor--venimous intent O2/CO2 fright fraught about what yesterdays will upbringing fixed.

An emotional poem. The imagery is ominous written in luminous chalk on a luminous blackboard. Where will the story end? What choices will you make. I await your next poem.

Dave, very powerful point of view and commentary bringing out the delusions of societies and their climb to nowhere, or so it seems ... wow :)
