Dodging The System

The Mainstream’s spices go up, and

Sweet butter’s on the mend.

But when tha’ heck will

The masses allow white flour to rise?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moon and Jupiter

Were low in the Eastern sky

The night I most recently voted.

I pointed and took a shot across buildings and

Central Park on that Manhattan evening.

The wonderful PICs of that night,

Later on discovery in my ‘Ultra20',

Turned-out clearly for all to behold!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I live and love and

Flirt frequently.

But never have I dispised the

Chilling art of selfishness.

Instead I do give due dilligence to

That unconsciousness which

We should all call coincidence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who among us

Will be the first to wade suspended

Into that narrow Perigee area

They call “The Crossing”?

Or is that Space reserved only for

Great-great-grandfather AN.U?

‘Who?’ You might ask. “Well”, I shall respond:

“You’d better ask somebody!”
