littlethings to count and discount

 
 
po'em              only like a
                                                      grim(y)
                            littlething
to pon'der
                       now that the illusions       of
                                                                usefulness,
                                                                 validity, have drained dry.
 
              night numbers
              track m'thoughts,
              crack the eggs
              containing life-
              potential energy.
              So, i eat it, thought
              lessly. The perfect
              consumer, consuming
              perfectly. Nonetheless,
              killer storms be gather
              ing force on the oceans,
              Batten down my beach
              front prop'erties. Shit.
              Think of the disarray.
              Think of my fine things
              broken broken broken.
              insurance insures every
              thing that I think iyam.
              Them fuckers better get
              cookin' on
                              my re'pairs.
                              my des'pairs.
                             ( my loves)
                               my sweet affairs.
An        other
                           grim (y)
        littlething
          littlething
             littlething
is here to re-mind to try try (try) and get clean,
reminding me, to get
                            off the horse, and ride the tides
     of mercy, love, compassion.
