Allegedly this reality
Is an incontestable truth
A factually concrete verity
Manufactured of its very own proof

I sit in the doubt of this moment
Uncertainty washes around my now
But I’m in possession of this instant
(But this is an existence of how)

This morning is striped with garish pastels
Striated by slapdash glass structures
They are seen as glamorous castles
(They are inadequacies’ latest sutures)

Life’s #RollerCoaster
I’m riding on life’s roller coaster
Wearing the burlap sack of space & time
I’m a hostage on a wanted poster
(My ignorance is a thing sublime)
#SelfiePoem
#DawnPoem

So I begin again, another day
Ev’rything is original & new
Although it’s familiar display
(Hopefully, another, I make it through)

I have to believe this is ǝʞıן G_d’s Key
Stamped by some angel “Do Not Duplicate!”
Nobody really knows what they will see
(I’m just another fleshy reprobate)

Occasionally there is perfection
It visits the humanity that looks
The one precondition is inspection
It is rarely ever observed in books

Strangely just one word rhymes with history
Tellingly it is the word mystery

People are perfectly supported
By this most troubling society
Our necessities have been deported
From the world’s poor in mock piety

We have another tabula raza
To make Paradise or Gaza

Evéry Day is another zombie
Blindly marching forward seeking something
That remains somehow unknowably free
(We are all caught in fate’s crazy webbing)

Each of us is imprisoned mercif’lly
In existence’s penitentiary
In the most abundant luxury
(Thus it has been in ev’ry century)

Morning is clawing its way out of night
Preparing the day that all of us face
In its own way it’s a beautiful sight
(Evérybody’s fate it does trace)

The world is constantly evolving
It’s changing & possibly improving
Certainly Mother Earth is revolving
& most of humanity keeps aging

The past is eroding today’s present
‘Cause history maintains things as they are
We are trained to certain others resent
(Thus we carry our parents’ hatreds far)

On the crimson horizon at sunrise
Past the highways & empty skyscrapers
There is a plume of grey smoke Queens spies
(Avarice is back at its capers!)

Two weeks into its northward migration
The Sun brings feeble warmth to New York
Which is life’s beautiful ministration
In this place where people live & work
#SelfiePoem

The sun rises just ǝʞıן it always does
& I scramble to the window to see
Today with me is a bus of convicts
Driving to go face their judgement sadly

I am surviving the machinations
Of today’s grim modernity
& in my labor’s qualifications
I sharpen students for futility
#SelfiePoem
#DawnPoem

I will fight my way out of the blankets
Of prejudices’ customs & habits
