each petal
and still mine precious

Barter of goods was before gold or paper before electronic
Transfers of the digit inflaters..How are dots and numbers
Balanced and checked? How many hyphens will i need for
A floor? How many dots to create a strong door? or a ship
Or a boat? Could i have one in gold? I've heard there are Some of timber?
Or is that concept too old? If I had ten cows, and some
Goats i could swap.? I would gather some fish, trade some out keep some back, fry some dry some
Trade some others, at the market on a table.' This way of
Enabling life to progress, predates any laws or even Legaleese, that creates quite a mess' the need of commoditys will allways be there.' It won't make any difference if you've blue or blond hair.' You still thrive with
Commerce, all the better if skills, are encouraged within
A community not so focused on ills.' It was there from the
Earliest knowledge of man, in fact they still trade commoditys i beleive, thats how things still stand' its before laws established, and its today, and beyond! drive
Your cattle to the market, trade your goods its still on.!

Precedence are they mere fragments of one’s imagination dreams deferred of acceptance, denials, or excuses. Precedence beyond one’s control although it may seem.
In systems called life, Are their really second chances re repeated cycles in this game of precedence.

DID I
EXCLUDE YOU
DID I
MAKE YOU FOREIGN AND STRANGE
DID I
EVER MISUSE YOU
AND NEVER GIVE DEFINITION
TO WHAT I SAID
DID I EVER NEGLECT YOU
TURN MY BACK AND WALK AWAY
LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY
BABY DON'T YOU WALK AWAY
OVER INVOLVEMENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE
MAKES ME FEEL STRANGE
KEEP MY NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH
WHEN YOU MOMMA STARTS QUESTIONING THINGS
HALF OF A WHOLE
KEEPS US EQUAL
IT'S THE WAY WE DECIDED TO DO THINGS
WHEN YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS COME AROUND
PROMISE ME YOU WON'T CHANGE
DON'T INVOLVE YOUR SELF
IN OTHER PEOPLES STRUGGLE
AND GET ALL UP IN THERE AFFAIRS
TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK
THINGS OVER
SOMETIME I KNEW YOU WISH I WASN'T HERE
I'M YOUR BACKBONE BABY
YOUR MINE TOO
AND AINT SHAME TO SAY
I LOVE YOU
SAME IN FRONT
AND WITHOUT PEOPLE
DON'T NEED FOLK AROUND
CAUSE YA'LL KNOW I FEEL THAT WAY
DON'T UNDERMINE ME
WHEN IT COME TO SOMETHING ELSE
I SUPPORT YOUR EVERY ENDEAVOR
SOMETIMES I NEED
SOME SUPPORT MYSELF
AINT NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE WAY WE DO OUR THING
TREAT YOU LIKE A QUEEN
YOU TREAT ME LIKE A KING

Precedence and Presidents
When you are at top of order in precedence,
In America have been one of the Presidents;
And oh, good grief;
Commander-in-Chief,
So present President has no common sense.

Person's Precedence Hor Haiku
Should a precedence
Be set up by presidents
Which would make much sense.

Your clenches to fight serve you a five
Whilst all I get are aces and risks to the highest
I might be your next of kin, if you prefer to look at in that way
But in truth to sincerity, I am the animal behind the wings
I fly in and about whence I please...
I am the root of humanity
Flourishing, in the garden of evil.
In the jaws of hell, where all fears to be eaten are beautifully dealt
...
Where kind acts mean not a thing..
Where night illuminates the dark
And daylight brightens the morning flock
Where yesterdays float in and about as they please:
Tomorrow feeding our futures a kindly-melded mellow yellow boat
Winking in our eyes an unexpected surprise

Death precedes me in everything in life.
My friends shall carry onward my strife.
There is nothing that is not just trite.
I did fail to completely to do all right.
Though my words shall live forever,
Not because they are great or even clever.
My work shall be remembered by some.
Though at some point forgotten in a hum,
I have regrets though they are so very few.
Many hopes and dreams shall go without clue.
I and my death is definite these are not new.
No fear of death for me, for I know it’s due.

the art of doing nothing
takes precedence over
the art of domestic engineering
if marriage is not present
in other words, I don't cook, clean, or do diapers
if I'm not married
