From default yes to designed no
...O to live life in relentless outreach
And still stay put, stagnant, nowhere to reach,
To struggle hard, getting not so in hand,
To feign busy as if a butterfly,
Or a productive bee nevertheless,

Just everything
At least what’s important
Yet that’s my assessment, not yours

Allegory of Falling In Love
...Poetry notebook in my jittery hand, I vacillate
what if she finds it dull… obtuse…
beneath her... culturally insensitive?
What if she laughs at its pathos,

As we so vacillate
Myriad desire forms juggle
Before each we prostrate
Make still the shaky heart
Simply add love to cart

That when you go for middle ground,
Both sides wish to shoot you down.

In noise–prosecuting quarters to Victory ululate,
In advance vowing to not ...
