 June 18, 2023

seeking our wisdom delivered to
us in the mail box
-----
collections demanding payment
you don't have
-----
one of manly side shows seeking
distractions to fit a noose around
------
your neck we seek escape with no 
place to hide
-----
we have nothing to give them
only voices turning away
-----
aggressive threats, loss of wages
the pressure moves us forward
-----
their demands unnerving reminders
of our shallow predictive life
------
lost in our maze of excuses, anxiety
keeps one up at nightfall
-----
car lights move on the ceiling 
passing overhead and disappear
-----
prayers foolish needs answered
with silence
-----
the truth is never fixed, it wabbles
back and forth until one tries
-----
to change the legality of bribery
one seeks a positive
-----
mood even though ones child
goes hungry
