having read an entire essay composed of boring aphorisms, i wondered if I could have my own grasp exceed the reach. LOL.
It goes without saying
that there aren’t
enough words
to mend a failed

but the writer gets the credit.
Don’t put
hyperventilating
statements
in a brown paper bag,

its good for a laugh or two
but you don’t want to bring
that kind of pain home.

sometimes leaves outtakes
that can be rendered into grease
for rusty mental gears.

Caesar says
You throw light
stand in the dawn
naked as the sun
just for principle and
like Alexandria burning

from spreading.

measured it more or less,
but that didn’t mean

the perpetual screw

for a start
so we’ll burn with desire
and what we don’t lose
to the torch
will leave a few
fragementary
measures
we'll save
for a song
