the crux of it
is
flux
— sometimes up–
–sometimes sucks!
since chance to change
your lot
and luck,
requires
judgment,
plan,
and pluck..
to shift
can be
upsetting
but–
–rousing, too,
like dawn
or dusk.
thus view
that urge
to verge
as plus
~the best of times~
put trust in gut.

there’s always
the “person”
to call in a sitch’
the handiest fellow
that helps you to fix,
the dings
on your things
–your notches
and nicks–
a certified
expert
at overt
kibitz,
that mends
all the dents
& make sure
it fits…
But do-it-yourself
is there for the choosing,
since duck tape
is useful
& not that confusing,
a sticky
un-tricky
that
~rolls out~
reducing
the cost
of solutions
& pocketbook
rooting
preserving your ducats
& lessening
looting…

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.

thinking can be onerous
a spinning wheel
on synapse bus
a thousand loops
in Voids-R-Us
a complex groove
~in disco club~
it really asks a lot from us!
But Gates
has changed that process up
freed our brains from thinking stuff
gave those Jobs to Mothers Bored
Bit that Apple
–f*cked us more–
then logging on
with sticks from Tree
of Knowledge vast
–but streamed & screened–
we settle in
like Lambs in lee
ignorant
(so blissfully)
of side-effect
as Cursors
