Tonight, counteracting this nature, this strive
to alter some efforts with poetic overdrive -
i’m brought to court, just a human, to imitate
the age old questions of how much i hate
our disposition for hope. This nature, to survive.
Yet, my fingers begin type-dancing, not deprived,
with tastes of words, delicious, we must thrive
at his Camelot, encouragement, un-heroic, bowing to the great -
tonight, counteracting our nature.
In silly photos, dusted yesterday, of places we once arrived
fresh from tomfoolery and youth -- god, how i’ve
battled/scripted/worried/known how fate
would workshop against such worries. But our poems, art, are innate
in the merciful way we dreamers are taught to swan dive alive,
tonight, while counteracting this nature.
