A Marriage, of Sorts

simple
little plentitudes
of vastly overstated
proportions
working to(ward) our
dis.advantage

depends on the
perspective

i suppose
i could derive
the more natural
selection
and make ends
meet

i suppose
anything is possible
in an impossible world
of deafening
deadening
silencing
dreams
:America the land of
opportunity
strikes
you're out
you're in
not here

Wanted:
all we want
Security:
issue (of the year)
Patience:
majority lacking
Time:
minority needs

An important reminder
comes across my desk
and for a fleeting moment
i forget
the maddeningness of
my
discomfort

returns
quietly, subtly,
into the unconscious
as sinister
as the cultural reinforcements
surrounding
what provocates my
angst....
