the future in pursuit

The loosest ends when left undone

Silly Dilly in pursuit of school
Always late which was not very cool
	Two legs in his pants
	Broke out in a dance
Oh, how that zipper was so damn cruel

To the detriment of the dispossessed majority,
By pandering to the greed of the controlling minority.

Pursuit Pleasure

Time of sun sleeping
Dew kisses the branch of eve
Smiling blue dyes pen 
Wave of the body in moon
Hymnal flute seeks hedonist

Prankster impulsive and brazenly,
put his foot out tripping too hastily,
Arnie in pursuit,
fool messing his suit,
last words heard; "hasta la vista baby!"

Love is blissful to the damned
But destructive to the happy
For they are still in pursuit 
Of what they already have
But for the damned 
It’s all they have

euphoric blind crossing another nonplus
blue-sky wish fulfilment in pursuit
tantalising infinite quest so faraway
