ALL of the questions
are for me and me alone
need vis-à-vis desire
what. is. wrong. with. me.
?
Alone in the prison I constructed
the more I ponder the more secure it becomes
mirror mirror on the wall
who’d a guess I’d be my own fall
?
I guess it has been a long while
since I have been in here
It feels somehow much deeper, the
grief > loneliness > absence > regret
?
But I do possess the magic formula
if I do what I say and also as I do
ALL of the answers, hence
are mine and mine alone

Happy Birthday Dave Gary Junior
Tuesday
When
when the pain comes
drawn from hubris, intensity, and other assorted feelings
it’ll cut as deeply as the blackest of holes
we shall toast ye as old mate
legend and warrior
a sadness persisting
when the punishment comes
drawn from a simple entitlement of payments due
numbness will masks tears masking fears
*
when the day comes to shut it all off
drawn from the culmination of sins and vices
committed against self and society
we shall roast ye as friend o’ all
timeless and permanent
as fake as fool’s gold
when the bookie comes to collect
the piper calling for you to join him
a grim reaper beckoning
Thursday
The Senior Officer
Partly professor
Partly ambassador
A reference librarian
and a futurist
Bringing order
Bringing peace
The one to model
The one to keep
Answers to questions
Questioning all
Standing in silence
Standing so tall
Institutional history
Institutional legend
A person with whom
to point the cameras
