vicariously through my mind
volatile observation suspended amidst reality and fiction,
subdued voice echoes down a hallway of convictions;
like a despotic fog blurring options for a swarm of insects
who eventually finds way to a lizard's grotesque carcass.
a feeling, in my gravel ribs, this might be a dead end
staring up at the sky, an atheist's hollow vision;
air and venom flowing

GRANDEUR OF FALL I VICARIOUSLY SEE
Radiating nature’s colorful glow
designed well by divine artistic might
showing blessings of God midst harvest* flow
Oh, grandeur of Fall brings sublime delight.
Presenting varied hues of lovely blends
red, orange, yellow, auburn, maroon, gold
overshadow green that beauty transcends
Yes, grandeur of Fall … a sight to behold.
Inspiring painters for picturesque scene
to highlight amber shades with crimson rays
against rusty foliage

Living Vicariously
Do you ever look into the field of azure
to a plane just a dot in the sky
and imagine yourself in the cockpit
As it freely ambles by
Looking down on this patchwork of earth below
Unfettered as free as a bird
having escaped the bird catchers net
by gravity no longer deterred
Slowly ploughing celestial heights
Scattering seeds of hope
When in

Living Vicariously Today
The golden is pulling her down the street
She is flying behind him, but is still not fast enough.
Her feet lightly hit the ground every once in a while.
I watch them go, feeling their joy.
Wishing I was one of them today.
Remembering what being young and thin felt like.

I Live Vicariously Through My Children
I wanted him to be a scientist.
He did not want that; he was willful and stubborn.
So, I let my dream go, but I was angry.
She wanted to become a doctor.
I discouraged this because of all the schooling involved.
She became a doctor in spite of my objections.
My third child was not willful or strong-minded.
She asked me

Aardvarks Often Bubble Vicariously
Aardvarks often
Bubble vicariously
Curiously and hilariously
Dynamite laughter pervades their skins,
Evenly and rather
Frequently
Giggling in their morning tea
High-fiving
Inquisitive
Jittery, jumpy
Kangaroo cousins,
Laughing maniacally
Magically melodious,
Needling opossums undeniably
Opportunities abound
Promoting
Quaking, quirky
Rambunctious,
Scrumptious,
Tittering and twirling on tippy toes,
Understandably fun-loving,
Vicariously and victoriously
With winsome wit
‘X-temperaneous enthusiasm emits,
Yelling as they tease your chasm
Zebras glad they live far away in Africa.

Adorn Yourself, Live Vicariously As You
Adorn yourself with vicarious, honest, enjoyable living.
Be someone else if you must, but not every day, and not all the time.
For your soul is waiting to treat yourself, delight yourself.
Enjoy a silken impetus, and a truly joyful exult.
Be whoever you want to be, and it does not necessarily have to always be you.
Safeguard yourself from

Vicariously
They know nothing.
They know nothing about me because all they see is a pretty face.
They know nothing about me, all they do is stare.
They, oh how they, will get me nowhere.
They want me around as I smile and glow,
They know nothing and nothing they know.
They say too much, too often, and too proud.
They make it

Vicariously Voracious
He feigns the astute overture which solemnly reigns oppressing. His head clouded
from mars to infinity, a perpetual black power convolutes through metaphysical
peripheries. Infinite is the torture granted from this being. Interdimensional
branding lays hollow in vein of mind control. Such is the vicariously voracious
