Future Bought


A PhD in emotion and feel,

licentiate of what lives within

 

Professor of imagery, doctor of will,

a Saint with a penchant for sin

 

Explorer of evil with devils to hunt,

the fire burns liquid and hot

 

Degrees of atonement, diplomas unread

—graduate of words future bought

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
