i saw you,
ask me to step right in
tempt me,
with escapism and home brewed sin

it is survival
not to shine
and swing by wire
on mystifying rhyme

but what if –
their parents do not –
build love –
out of the building blocks –
they had

Isn’t That Wonderful the failure of capitalism is absolute and painfully clear the evidence is overwhelming and inequality all too … More

what if,
i would like to collapse
or withdraw –
from the weightlifting competition

more like a substance
with the texture of rope
foundations,
not anchored so deep
barely into the top part
of waif like hope

they turn to capitalists –
both real and imagined for their answers
but no questions are examined
