Cortisol
10-21-14


Cortisol levels are usually low
Where it is a strength to say
Hey, I do not know
All dressed up with no place to go
Oxytocin levels are high
Come the example of the simple equation
Of which we ask the why
I'm the man on the outside looking in
In that even when I lose indeed I win
By my zygomaticus major I smile
And it serves as my mortal sin
This is the first page
Of the rest of my profession
Waiting on that first step
Come this confession
O, why do I do this
The answer is simply just because....
















It's Something
10-21-14


O, why do I do this
The answer remains
Because it is something
Given today the only agenda to but persist
Come the evening breeze that followeth the morning mist
I hope to do much more than just simply exist
O, turn my land into gold
And clench not a fist
Given another clean shave
As smooth as a baby's behind
Leaning upon my golden stave
As one to quiet the mind
Come the fires that never stir again
Come this blue scribbling
From my humble pen
Delivered from the lion's den
I ask no more why
And inquire instead, O when
O, why do I do this
Because it is something...










Oar
10-21-14


Angle STP is trisected
According to the courage of my nihilistic pursuits
Come the first month of my vernal equinox
Yet to rock on with clarinets and flutes
Assuming my savasana
As my closing pose
Glad yet to know that my Jesus, he knows
Angle STP is trisected
And the feeling, it grows
Come overanalysis
That kills in in touching my toes
Of my inspirational epic written here
Such is the way that it goes
Six more archives
I have my work cut out for me
By the oar that rows....




















Released (Posthumous)
10-21-14


Most of these live archives
Are released after Jerry's passing
He's gone but he has just arrived
As the evil twin of inspiration is our jealousy
And another hath survived
Rolling down the track upon which he thrived
Come the sense that our actions are valued
By those that look upon us
Nothing left to do but smile
In that it is as it is
Come gratitude and its evil twin indebtedness
For foam, froth and fizz
Come inspiration, love
And its counterpart of awe
I partake in the steak raw
That has yet no flaw...
















Ready
10-21-14


Ready to err
Prepared to abide alongside a cat that doth purr
Fixing to touch the warming of her fur
Changing subjects again
According to what was
And all that we were once were
With a feeling of coldness in my extremities
As I reach out to her
Ready to go astray
Ready to get on with the friction of the day
Ready for the actions I am yet to weigh
Ready to but bleat, low and neigh
In my churchyard by my river
It's going to be okay
Ready to traverse
In that gladness I rehearse
Ready...




















My Interest

It's been interesting
Here at the library
Once absent for the cause of continuity
Twice present for the battle of truth
Thrice wayward for the reason of rhyme
Taking a day off for another prolific sitting in time
When you keep a wall around your heart
To protect it from pain
You also diminish your capacity for pleasure
And when you endeavor to keep out the falling rain
You'll miss out on plunder and treasure
Changing subjects midway
For the cause of leisure
It's been interesting...
