Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

The great poets begged for muse and not for moments stolen.
We lesser mortals cup in hand beg, not for attentions’ span nor

What if the difference,
or a more significant difference,
a profound past of Tipping Point reference,
between nondual Left-Right bicameral consciousness
and more dualistic philosophies

reforming,
retributive punishing
