Shoeshine

is so fine–

it polishes kicks,

the uppers,

the outers,

Not sole that takes licks

And outshine

is unkind–

it lessens the rest,

a bid for

attention,

to show you’re the best

While moonshine

is when whine

just won’t do the trick–

a toast-

burning host,

that soon becomes sick

It’s sunshine

that’s sublime

–it shines every eye

in life-giving

warmth

from starshine in sky.

A

born again

vegetarian,

I don’t mis’

stake.

I miss

ewe.

Flipped by Pan

and under fire

–witch burned like

all get out

(I’ll say)

it was nevertheless

good to be on the move

. . .

good

–that is—

‘til I caught sight of my

crossing guard

. . .

that

weightless,

waitlisted

wraith–

At least revolving doors

go

somewhere

)()()(

not like revolving steps

a merry-go-round

that only spins in one direction
 
 
up, up, up

(Chuck)

to heights that dizzy

but no Machu Picchu,

mind you,

you never scale the Empire State or

reach crowning

Liberty, either

–and you can’t escape.

Going up is destination

not option–

and choosing freedom,

I look for level

One step at a time,

365 days

–a year.
