and If you’re the judge
Exploiting routine is not entrapment;
try harder: a choice on the scale between
hurt and scared, the easy and boring scale—
it looks the same. The joy of being seen
can feel like a kiss, a flush and a pale
saving the face. Given, known and shown: all
reveals exist in the waiting, or meant
equally across time if the word is
[ ]erve. It’s an invitation to the ball;
options include a glass slipper; Her diss
lives in our souls rent-free. So Rachel’s son
views you with shade; tally and watch what’s won:
embers and cobs. Stalks are barest in spring;
donate the will, we’re gnawing on a wing.

Your brothers can be irresistibly
sympathetic, that’s the collateral
of life. The life of othering is guerre
and shame is the rest—I down a chablis.
Chaos is math—We pop an Adderall—
justice is not. If you try to compare
constantly, there will be no time left for
the upkeep of society: in food
nophilos. As hereafter and before
C-4, when in doubt; kindness to distill
removing Faith from succor. To be lewd,
empathy is a sinew or a skill.
Sometimes spite is love and so deservèd;
grace inside a famine is how we’re fed.

If we undo mending, it is only
passively. Seven years lean is careless
following seven years hale. This dare says,
“These are the gaps. Yum: They’re rich in bonely
goodness.” I carry my carry my soy on the left,
carry my grain on the right. He is all
philosophies between “a hurt dog will
holler” and “even fake friends will feed them.”
Mental gymnastics are a worthless skill,
mostly between the choosing and the call.
Ontologies said: nihilism anthem,
but some are balls, or loaves, or spells, or theft;
assuming Newton, assuming balance:
Investor asks Teller for Her two cents.
