I rarely do ‘poetics’. There’s no reason, just saying
perhaps inspired by this cool breeze and seasonal change
as brewed beans ease the strain - stuck in this rhythm
two days before due date…
Hmmm…!!
Observe this juxtaposition
But I’ll need some assistance...cant do this all on my own
Presenting...
~The Last Leaf*~
By Angkor and Oliver Holmes
I saw him once before,
As he passed by the door,
And again
The pavement stones resound,
As he totters o’er the ground
With his cane.
Life’s an intricate system of “tension” and “change”
spanning far beyond subatomic physical plane
observe the pacing, disaccharidase, digital age
idle intolerance; an argument for Heidegger’s claim
“Inanimate object”! Heh...ironic twist of conjugal fate
At least in this context; marriage, mix...lethargic exchange
They say that in his prime,
Ere the pruning-knife of Time
Cut him down,
Not a better man was found
By the Crier on his round
Through the town.
*Movement now* - Aspiration! Daddy made it clear
“Whatever goal you set for yourself, you have to lay with care
See, success is a habit; Simple pattern of fear
Mistakes will be made. It’ll either make you great or end your career!”
Primed for the world; armed with strong core philosophy
I picture: Oak desk, windows abroad and large office suite
But now he walks the streets,
And looks at all he meets
Sad and wan,
And he shakes his feeble head,
That it seems as if he said,
“They are gone.”
“Amanda, hold my calls please”..
the smell of roast coffee
permeates this early hour fiasco
looking down from my office tower...powerful. bold.
silk ties, bitches lined up for hours of sex
First you get the money...then comes the power, respect
35 years of age primed - so proven, sure…
then her voice…the voice..”Sir, excuse me, sir...
...HEY YOU!! Can i have my fucking change please??”
“Sorry ma’am, here you go - two dollars eighty-three”
