In our state of affair, rife windy side of a take,
if in business suit or not, it was said, angels wait,
be careful with yourself. You are not a god!
Keep your water back and flat against
tin eye catches higher rates of filch on poor,
that fletches them loose darts catchless skies,
to stick where neither care nor grace exists:
the bitter bark of bate, switch; catch.

Timeout! Breakable bowl of charity, in stitch,
has, in red cart rid with sore hearts
to make women and men of they
whose shineless plod on human time
seems lygun Pylian, best, full radiance agoreten line.

As I fit under you willow, handlers tally from bow to put-on,
snuff candle the otherwise out,
that one of the first wisdoms, of doing to the world,
as you would have to you, away stiffpliable stifles
done light, or the one from Heraclite – “wisdom:
speak the truth, act naturally.” shall not
by but two sides reduce when clearly the thing is abox.

And there fine master, singing carol, going round,
suggests of boot-strap with, some our found, nutritious scrap eat,
enjoy the paid entertainment,
wash, wash and wash away of good helps,
take cureless-pocked medicines,
in the swaddled corporate bargain of broken contracts,

or sworn to warm blood, sweet sweat Love creates,
settle with Excess and False Argument
on attention Divine hates – of at all costs win.
Since it flakes. And reports of success there rarely ring.

Along Sleepy Willow then, flex! For Men forget
how much at Wind’s buffets you catch.
Fact is, with you as: whose past intelligences
do not current ones prevent; looking,
we feel ourselves gods again, and thank you!
