A day in third month, year to lock in heart:
Twenty-seventh, a start...
To share, live, never depart
Love is such an awesome art.

that lay rotten eggs
ducklings they hatch not

SUMMER WEDS WINTER
icy angels fall
they coat white the earthly grounds
lovers rest up-close
thawing the cold-blooded air
summer heat weds winter chill

IF is dream AS is reality,
IF is hunger AS is food,
IF is sick AS is cure,
IF is sleep AS is song,

be it on their way to
strike number two,
having already “failed,”
earning strike number one,
the to-be-weds
defend their upcoming choice
to friends you never cease
to bring up all the things that
can go wrong
that will go wrong &
that already are going wrong---
these slight imperfections,
these obvious sacrifices being
made
for the utopia of
american
cultural
convention,
which died last century,
seems to be a relentless effort
for two people to prove to
themselves
that they have succeeded at
something,
as if success at anything
would provide reason
for their own
chance occurrence
meeting of sperm & egg
somewhere along the line
of evolution---
this time they swear it will
work out
this time they swear that
they will hardly see each
other &
that is the key to
living together in
“holy matrimony,”
pretending
pretending
pretending
that their “god” is not
dead &
if they aren’t that naïve,
that the state of which they
went to get the job done,
is anything less than
one
big
lie,
either.

Today I shined very bright.
I added the fuel to ignite.
I gave it my all and hoped for the best.
I went in and faced the test.
Sitting there waiting, my pits sweating.
The quiet, lifeless room was offsetting.
Time taking so long I might grow thin.
Just waiting for the teacher to say begin.
She speaks and I dig in and give it my best shot.
I might not be the best but a quitter I am not.
Almost five hours later were done, I can barely see.
Minutes go bye, we get our score, could this be?
The teacher nods as she walks down the aisle.
1530 out of 1600, I'm in the 96th percentile!
Above the clouds today is where I flew.
Because today, I achieved a dream come true.
