Muse-ack

The music spoke its secret ways
that day
the note
in the glass bottle was found
and magnified you-

Up high,
a troupe of black birds stream
through the pink zephyr in blushes
-it becomes clear
they know the song by
wingbeat
the chorus
in choreography-

Silvers of this
lay strewn
all about you-
once seen, became
blinded faith
setting eyes
on bald faces
the cloud mist-

Soul survival,
the score was more
than we can consume
in a low life
mock swallows
in moments made
intoned by bliss.

Duodecimo

I know.

I'm doing it all wrong.

I've likely been doing it wrong

all along.

Then I thought-

could wrong be taught?

Say an Oxymoron

a concept fell up on

Invented by those trustworthy scholars

Juxtaposed and presented by those high collars

A comic tragedy

of innocent dichotomy

Common sense

Present tense

Paradoxical Freedom Requires

Dutiful Experienced Amateurs

Mandatory Volunteerism

Conservative Liberalism

recurrent apathetic desires

passion retardant fires

and necessary luxuries

the minorities priorities

Rightly so

to show

your Blind Faith

In Truth, Things we made up called “words"

honestly are the durned purtiest things I've ever heard.
