broke

broke

when I was a boy

how could I have predicted 

that 10-12-2010 would be such 

an important milestone date

the day upon which my destiny 

as an impoverished functionary

-shell

-bot

-worker

-borrower

-payee

(S-o-u-l barely intact)

would have a severe come-uppanace

..on a friday, of all days

I hope no further calamities 

assimilate before gorged eye;

If you fall from the sky upon our 

now brittle shrunken heads - embattled,

then please fall gently and cordially

There is no 

recoiling for us on the mortal coil

just onward and onward

whatever-wherever-however....

dash of hope

-through-

invisible seams 

a spliced moment in time!

btw, the boy 

could not 

have foreseen 

any of this!
