Awakening in a pool of stagnant indirections – brushing
aside blue-green algae clinging to centuries-old
thoughts blanketing suppressing so damn depressing.
Seeking a freshness in meaning escaping demeaning
and dire decisions brought by evading the short answers
of yes no do not pass go do not collect $200.
Raging this is not a game life’s strategies do not have
agreed rules or referees and the fool’s field is not defined
by legible signs that denote absolute or any dimensions.
Quaking before bald imperatives that brook no fantasies
hear no plaintive pleas listen and see nothing in an oblivion
as complete as here and now has no clear idea of tomorrow.
Sinking in a morass of reeking mud and cloying symbolism
invading the senses acquiescing to dying comforts appeased
only by being nothing in an urbane emptiness of nowhere.
