market rate bidding war
take the time to feel
distinguish between the pain
and the suffering
too much space and time
too much being way too much
choice of either or
minding one’s business
courses running their courses
feeling those feelings
perversely the universe decided it was a good idea to place my closest descendant's birth day and my closest ancestor's death day back to back
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
