No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates
With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

the tree a feral cat eye

As I open mine eyes , I was first to see as I am blind;
So I closed my eyes lit up is darkness;

EYEING THE HOURGLASS
curious he watches grains of sand fall
for first time in his three years
cognitive of future
4/7/2018
E-yeing the shining zenith
L-ets you reach your goal;
L-ight above the horizon
A-ims to warm your soul.
I-t's Tuesday March fourteenth,
N-ew morn meets the dawn;
E-ventide has yielded to the ascent of the beacon.
L-et the wide blue sky
O-pen the zone underneath;
P-repare to soar up high,
E-yeing the shining
Z-enith.
Clothes all clean
but the washing machine
ate up all my panties.
Raced to the store
to buy some more,
But bought instead some brandy.
Stopped at a shop
for a lollipop;
a treat I find so dandy.
My skirt fell down
In the middle of town.
Now everyone's eyeing my candy!
