Resource notes taken,
goes directly into paper,
re-write up to three drafts,
handled and edited later

FedEx waits at my door
depending on paper cuts
mind, body, and soul sore
this rhyme sucks more 'n more

Sometimes I get so tired

and bloody, I just let it go,

regardless of the stage it is in,

walk away, slip away pliered

Sometimes I hang in

for harmony obfuscated

Sometimes focus abated

from beginning to end,

which makes sensual

harmonious voice,

brilliant content and style

as if a palette choice

with plan visual
and a foot in the eternal

Often focus fraught,
and my humor is not --
really start to stooper
sounding like a Hoover.

Addled ambulates
damaging briefs
in long winded tides
pressure sucking out insides

Much befuddlement
esoteric rudiments
languages, logarithms

algorithms, audacity

condensation equality

balanced formulations,

postulated reason,

simple formula

in judicial sensing

canceled bail out

thought opinion in

faulty grammar cleansing

Is that more eloquent,

more efficient stuff

more concise intention
than declaration suffocation


In conjured systems
and time lagged creations
due to counselors
and others whose

eyes do not want to face

myths of truth's roots

Yet, they that are just file clerks,
inefficient at that...
that anyone places trust in
Postulate that crap

Because I am older enciting
have been creative 42 years
drafting, designing, certifying
just to be nullified by peers

printing, painting, presenting
trading at shows,
I jam as much
into assignment
as possible;

TEXT me tomorrow ..
OK?
