...of Dated Space

Until space extended & became dated,
I knew that for some resolve I’d been created;

but, pushed into a mold,
they expected me to hold.

As for my individuality, they tried to crack it,
not knowing that I knew the locket

ain’t short of nothing 2 break
in order to get to the lake,

then Cut through a burning forest
where I’m no tourist.


Simply,

... of Celebrate

It’s today.

Yesterday’s visit is over-

-no longer exists.

Tomorrow’s endeavors are a

mystery not yet defined

and I decline

interviews with non-existent enigmas.

just today



Simply,

...of "best if used by..."

soured dreams
expired,
curdled like years-old cream

molded ambitions
decomposed,
rotten like overripe persimmons

spoiled opportunities
rancid,
mephitic like putrefied malt in breweries

timed out goals
dated,
seasoned like fermented borecole

...of "Murphy's Law"

stepping back; observing

backing off; reflecting

Reevaluating

maybe even turning around...
