From the Office of Misplaced Complaints
Filed, Miscellaneous: "This Aimlessness is Getting Old":
Commiserating and apologetic. Stop.
Misplaced, not forgotten, remarkable breath
and tone is self-consciously lovely and honey:
Take it up to the warden of the same blue sky
Say you’re ready restless, epitomize your times.
Take it up with your old self who left you to fend
For yourself in need of some “else”, some lead
Because now you’re on Aimless Highway
Revving and scowling out the window sun.
Take it up to a mountain, let it end in dust.
Or on to the concrete where you spilled once like juice
In front of everyone, your soul
And left it out there for too long maybe
Thinking that you were doing it right like
What you saw other people do but
It fell short.
Who are you now in this time clearing
(Happy off course in land of wonders amiss
Lost adrift costs
accumulate every day try to rejuvenate
emulate revive the motivation the sensory
fascination of endless less disasters for the educated, please)?
Youth used to be fresh, you concur?
