twilight IS magic.
even-ing of light & dark
helping the sunrise.

Is Dewey•Dismal?
Did Briar•Lie?
about the lay
of future files?
was thicket sticky
like
Dewey’s
digits…
did Briar
lie-cense other
tickets?
the answer’s yes
resoundingly,
since Dewey failed
astoundingly,
a system so
confoundedly–
intricate and full
of sh*t
most everyone
avoided it,
>including<
wily
Briar Rabbit
& thus when
PC age was born,
that Dismal•Dew
was
pulled
from
drawers
–those narrow kind–
too long &
next,
Google You
rerouted
text.

My computer
printed out a note
–irregular font, and poorly aligned–
it told me
it was holding
my brain hostage
and demanded
I leave
unmarked digits
at PayPal,
a HotSpot,
& external
Ram Drive
for a quick getaway..
ha,
I fooled it,
I went right through Amazon.

it’s B.S.
for P.S.
corralling my day
I’m full-growed
& my load
of books
R a weight
the cool kids
in school sit
grouped in the quad
the stoners
& loners
in the parking lot
the jocks
& the soc’s
& the greasers
out back
the jocks run the bleachers
the greasers—the track
the geeks
practice Greek
& tease you in tones
& the band
lends a hand
with back-up trombone
the queue
to get food
is where I now stand
a-mid-point returned
to where it began
& my Freaky Friday
don’t know where I fit
with teachers
in lounge
or
Breakfast Club mix.

no pain, no gain’s
a common phrase
& intimates
the trade-off pays
a tit for tat
in fair exchange
since tat for tits
is lingerie.
& GR8 tho
lace is
it can’t replace this
axiom enduring…
as hard-won ends
are better than
the given—
while assuring
you can
achieve
the things you please
with studied application
’cause fortitude’s
an
~attitude~
& basis of GR8•ation.

cherish
though rar’ish
a word in exchange–
doesn’t mean
seat-like
or rest-stop
on range…
it doesn’t
mean stoolie,
or chary,
or bunk,
it means
TLC
& the rest
of that junk.

where does the “oy”
and “me”
in US go?
there’s a U
and an S
which is not apropos
since S
never featured
in
you
I
or
we,
but multiplies number
of U’s
by decree
N so,
N conclusion
>after hours of study<
those MIA characters
R closer to MO-n-EY.
