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.

There’s many jobs that I won’t do
& what the hey,
let’s list a few
I won’t be
used as
firework
as lighted fuse
can really hurt
& lemme see where else
I
~balk~
the work of clocks
is near the top
I don’t believe in time
a’Tall
a man-made concept
*falderal*
& weaving nets
is fine for some
but netting work
is never done
no, druthers mine
would find my labor
stemming from
my better nature
the work
I love
won’t find me lolling
I love to labor
at truer calling.

Introspective
day begins
looking glass
that’s deep within
microscope
to magnify
the passing day
to central
I
but what if
window
redirected
intensity
of light reflection?
opened up
to BreeZe & bEEz
could focus grow
would locus be–
outside-in
& faceted
a sparkling view
& glass-less
lens
would vista change?
would spirit grow?
dropping cloth
on inner show?
It’s hard to see
but maybe so.

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.

I am ogre,
I am damsel,
I am heroine in tell,
I am she,
I am he,
I am we,
they,
us,
as well.
I am you
I am me
I am everything imagined,
for the time,
it takes to write,
the stories that I fashion.
