gray strands
when I'm feeling too young
tight asses
when feeling old
highs
to your lows
I proclaim
the joint manifesto
considers important
one
with due emphasis
undue
officially
to be
I declare
in a solemn
emphatic
final word
lean to the side
say something
a wry look
or smile none the more
emphasis with a following
success or failure apparently brought by chance
luck
that is
stolen
from screen
yes
wands and unicorns
could do no better
even if fucking hard
and serious
acquire defines like crap
but change it up to achieve
and you get
reach or attain by effort
when really
I think they are the same
and only differ in the viewer
I stand dead
as much as alive
and less so of both the more I waffle
which is only a vehicle for syrup
or if more minded
a fail to make up one's mind
I say better to eat always
no matter
at all times
on all occasions
as a last resort
and evermore
never this
close at hand
being indicated
mentioned
a thick sweet liquid
often used
derived
I lay hold
a public declaration
but only whispered
a platform
I stand
strong
on the arms of termites that hold hands
to keep rotten wood whole
the many really can hold
the worm ridden truth
together and in force
when on its own
so little
and does even less good
I imagine gray strands
when I am feeling too young
and I toss my inexperience like salt
on this overdone meal
and yet since I am consistent
even when wrong
this salt seasons the unseasoned
into an edible bit
of life
tight
and loose
all at once
and forever more
night
day
good
yes
