" Good Reminders "...

" Good Reminders "

Good reminders
thick slices
lusting for life
yet kept
all in the mind

highly seeded
reviewed harshly
since infancy
with fresh urgency

while harping
on past promises
from flipped scorecards
in schoolyards

playing the odds
while walking in socks
of the unorthodox

like veteran comics
using religion
as highly popular art

straight out
of the bottle
for six-penny operas...
