Setback
August 1, 2005
God, Goddess, Void
it always comes back to that, looking for guidance
reaching out, being reached back into by �� something
psychosomatic, self deluding, some personal revelation
just festering away, like undertow �� and how do you explain
you ��re stuck with book, or speech, or the personal censorship
some words on the back of a soapbox perhaps
and maybe you got lucky, found something that mattered
but some guy in a pretty smoking jacket and a hat
underscores the dream, how people will reach out, out to anything
sequester in their dreams, revel in their happenstance and cry out
God, Goddess, Void
why me all this time, what have I done, what should I do
does any of this circumstance matter to you
like there ��s some superficial listener focused right in
laser tight, laser bright, starlight picking out an image
man ��s soliloquy to man, pointilized in bleak text, flowered letter outlines
suction of the word edited for clarity, selected, invested
each penitent and postulant pushing for right, their just action
justification, decrying and supporting flags, nations
backed right against defile, riled and supported all the while
under-cored by dream, how people will preach out, out to anyone
investors and their seams, level in their circumlocution, crying out
God, Goddess, Void
all capital lettered, all capitol centered, gathering in
millions, millions, recitation of the paying creed
spinning up a flock that bleeds green across the fields of screaming
guidance package, payload, surgery from a distance
or peaceful resistance wrapped like wire around nail and plastic
martyrs beaten down or self razed, crazed, every one
so few voices to question, so many employed in mission
dissymmetry of global vision, hammers finding nails
why me �� sinner, just action, right
what have I �� revolution, absolution, palliative
what should �� the word become
God, Goddess, Void
