born of bitterness
and belligerence
an inability to
express your sense
of angst
frustration
you cannot
reconcile
what you could
not accomplish
inadequacy needs
an accomplice
to play accessory
to the fact
of its inaction
receive some
minute form
of satisfaction
from shifting
this term about
like
shoveling
shit
shoveling
shit
layer
upon layer
until you bury
yourself beneath
the excrement
of your own
undoing
heave ho
the heavy load
that you lack
the capacity
for lifting
but it
behooves you
to grab
strong hold
of the dump truck
clutch and
drop the crutch
lower the boom
on your wicked
stench
i see an “r” word
in your future
responsibility
the same mind
which percieved
the problem
can concieve of
the perfect solution
to solve it
don’t turn that apathy
between your ears
into a solvent
into which
every reasonable fix
finds a way
for you to dissolve it
the earth
revolves everyday
rotates even more
often
and refusing
to acknowledge
your human
agency
is an “f” word
an exercise
in futlity
sulking has
little utility
so when you cast
about “blame”
you are likely
to find
it to be
yourself
who is defamed.
