It’s not my fault if you get stung
While wearing no shoes out-of-doors
It’s not my fault that you got pregnant
Because you lifted your pinafore.
It’s not my fault things didn’t go well
And you passed up that opportunity
It’s not my fault you walked away
Sick of your lover’s insipid importunity.
It’s not my fault it’s not to your liking
Because you want everything your way
It’s not my fault you didn’t pay the rent
And, you have clearly abused your stay.
Lots of things simply aren’t my fault
But then, some are…clearly by default.

Spring sunshine false security.
New life weak, lacks impunity!
Relying on instinct, not ingenuity!
Weather lacking continuity!
Fickle, tantamount to cruelty!
Naturalist blame human lunacy,
some agree with their importunity
Some folks, if given the opportunity,
would form a world community.
To stop our polluting abnormality.
Their key for all, amenability.
The power of reason, their munity.
No more governmental jejunity!
They'll work to create bio immunity!
At one with nature, total unity!

"When opportunity doesn't knock, build a door"
When possibilities don't arise, look for more
When you find that strange and patient zen
That comes from knowing why and knowing when
Remember the architect designed it as such
All the way down to the final touch
Don't allow self-doubt to cause you concern
These challenges are meant to help you discern
What is right and what is true, what to think and what to do

Why is separation apart from my match?
For what we have been so far from beloved.
Come near me now,you should be embrace me,
Not meeting me far away,bigger than you.
Do not think that whatever you can now tell me,
Do you want me now?
Is trust, then punishment, do not give it now,
Consider it love, now you importunity.

"When opportunity doesn't knock, build a door"
When possibilities don't arise, look for more
When all you can do is build a bridge
to connect the mountain peak to the ridge
You find that strange and patient zen
That comes from knowing why and knowing when
When your blueprint for this thing called existence
Meets with disapproval and resistance
Remember the architect designed it as such
All the way down to the final touch
Opportunity and obstacle are kissing cousins
Failure is not up for discussion
Don't allow self-doubt to cause you concern
These challenges are meant to help you discern
What is right and what is true
what to think and what to do
So trust that quiet, retiring voice
That says to you "Make this choice."

.
My intricate interlacing strokes
mirror the swaying
interweaving
of her skillful dance
She divests playfully
just a bit
She woos me with importunity
yet needs me not
I close in tightly
yet need her not
How faithfully we dance
