1 = 1: or, one of them is unnecessary.

So youthful ambition told me stop!
Taking my time to the devil's fee,
My literary soda pop....
So whatever happened to me?
Rhyme and meter just a prop,
the vessel carries me to be free.
An ocean in every teardrop.
Swimming in waters of the sea
that editors tell me to crop.
My hope that you will believe
your home when you close shop.
There is nothing left to grieve
but the fables of Aesop.
The meaning cannot retrieve
gooey poetry in mainstream glop.

A prayer full of confusion as much as your song is a bond, please articulate this lesson...   as your spread naked to see your body has a temple's warmth. A hallelujah song of the dream inside there has been a storm.   You're the bread of this church... in gratitude, I drink the wine. there is a fire but hope hurts. You're a light leading the blind.   Your music is a heartfelt drum like a war-cry fighting darkness. Victory rests on your tung. Your wet labor will bear witness.   The reflecting light of the moon though it is the light's glory between your legs, I am consumed... by the grace of g...

The impossible task

I am Feeling like I am already dead I want to know, why? is there no hope that this life will improve or is it a posture? or worse   can       I         not            face the                  sincerity The unironic bleakness of trying to be honest To myself for once This isn't the time for rhyme and meter whatever time it is it is close to midnight The glow from the screen of my laptop as I type honesty is respecting your time without it becoming the business of being a door-to-door salesman of framing every indignity I have seen this week betrayal, coercion, and goodbyes of being blamed     and threatened without even knowing why I keep telling myself The impossible task of this poem Is being interesting but sane
