STRETCHED INTEGRITY

 

So many images flying about.

So much that staked a wizardry

inclusive of our trying to find something remarkable.

Not enough of all this to go around.

Or too much, too much that flies off.

Just wield your stretched integrity as best you can.

I might try to find myself included in your circus.

The re-adjustment that flies in the face of chasms

that have never been fully explored.

 

This ceremony we have concocted scrambles

the newfound itineraries of shame. Exaggerated,

the outcall that mangles infamy. The torrid

witless torment of these unrequited timings.

Just have your say, your way, your time

here with such uncertain consequences.  

The psyche is serious business, watch

where you are going.

Like the moves of this, and the somber praise it seems to catch. 'Uncertain consequences' hits a chord. Stretched integrity is something ubiquitous these days. Trying times. Thanks.
