In questionable fashion


Who told you how to live?
Let me begin by acknowledging our equal need for oxygen,
and then amend, 
nitrogen is what we primarily take in,
albeit we all agree to say 
it is only Oh-two that is our necessity-
in stability and in security.

Really?
Is this all you need? The rest must be greed...
              Upon a star watch all wishes come true.
Did you get the images from the made for reality tv
program, project runaway
fed by pity luck, out of stock-on back-order-by-
perceptive-demand-controls-levers
and catapults.

How can you just stand by, casually 
wanting the same not enough to go around?
You're losing it,  ground you never gained, receding
by the grains of sand you planned your foundations 
upon return to all unfull-filled wishes and keep 
coming back to what looks better but never is
Yours Truly
Wanted.

Silly sap, you don't need all that crap
to distract your focus, diffuse your feelings,
numb your neurons, echo those morons
and blend in to grey-scale wet ware
you won't want to wear
fashionably
later-or For Ever
enough stuff 
holds you back
by gross weight.

It seems all other dreams
end well...but how would you know...
sleeping like they do
makes it better for you
by breath or in death, 
                gasping for argon
until it is all gone.
