exist

so much more knowing and seeing

clear the table set for one not I

not I and too many ears          

bending light to a heavy subject followed by

an action speaking louder than my words

my words no meaning—

look it up and down

what do you make of the situation at hand

or foot the bill this time

that time for recompense

did I apologize did not mean it to sound

the alarm waking my soul escaped

for a bit of peace and quiet

lack of something causing me to go crazy

eyes on the prize

is but a pot of gold that doesn’t even

exist…
