Free Will—meaning
mine, not yours.
Unsure—meaning
yearning.
Truth—meaning
please, be considerate
and whisper your hyperbole.
Constipated—
when you presume
you're full,
but really you're complete-
ly empty.
Third World—
as in:
this must be
(at least) your
third go
through this first one.
Market Place—
where
what is frivolous
makes
what's essential
feel affordable.
After All—
just a curse
we learn to hurl
at the stubborn present tense,
which refuses always
to stop getting there
just a hair before us.
