EVER and ANON


At
present writing from this standpoint like robes are laid aside we
bending together as though whispering secrets as some elemental force

If
I could kindle with enthusiasm a glowing with delight this night
oppressed with hardship would find care, the sick with dread doubtless

It
seems protracted and fruitless resolve into nothingness to act with
deliberation stricken into silence this a yield to reason a true echo

For
me no indorsed and applauded I am informed and competent not to be
insincere and worthless than what jurisdiction and authority is there

Again
I start my day ignoble and shabby illustrative and typical with images
and impressions turning to imbitter and exasperate a absurdity

It
is graveyards and solitudes one finds greatness and stability not grief
and remorse.Look to guidance and inspiration a hearth and shrine

What
expressions and exclamations,I expressive and effective have faults and
delusions only to be fogs set in formlessness and exaggeration

Dwarfed
and obscured should I become dust and oblivion or just dwindle and
disappear? What ease and lightness both elementary and simple

With
both emotion and passion this problem enticing and alluring to me.It's
entire and complete my epithet and description:EVER and ANON

MP3

Player tell me

young boy in Africa

hand cut off

Side walk a work of Art

a crack here there thither

a tree resembles mahogany

or not

The player

with ear buds

my ears

than thy cut off his arms

why would thy stencil angel

more Art

Cracks gray uplifted slabs

more stencils a gun white

and then they cut off his feet

the player reminds

a girl

Black hair around nineteen

maybe twenty alone

a cough exhale

coughing

No stencils the sidewalk

is Art

Gray or grayish? grayness

cracks are never the same

sameness

The player

my ears

and then they through him

in to the toilet

program ends

Gray cracks trash

move to grass

the player

nice to have a radio

new program
