I’m a one-trick pony. Poetry is my province.
Inscriptions on interiority guard against the
perils of being me. On the precipice of pitfalls,
injunctions follow with festinated periodicity.
Happiness as entitlement stands exposed when
He withholds it. As preteens at playgrounds let
loose sans proprietorial suspicions, we must
latch onto their ways to lead finer tenures.
