to have cake
and also to eat it
do you notice
anyone else?
the shelf is packed with alarm
there's no limit to race to
the chase is to
the smallest
the shoetallest
the youngest
or the hungest
and if those show
all together then
it's anyone's weather to vain
rain on the plain
obscenely seen by narrowed eyes
disguised with discontent
as if we've meant a great deal
to some other stage but now
caged in a smaller moat
while the gloating floats higher
than deserved to an underserved
population of thought
i'm caught in a scramble
afraid to break the eggs
while the juice pulps along
the wrong fiction
watered down and drifting out to sea

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
