Attention

Attention, Attention:
A slight apprehension;
An awkward ascension;
A calm Intervention.

Arise an erection
Of muddled affection.
Earn a collection
Of deeper perplexion.

Moments then swallow
Lies that ring hollow.
Feeling tomorrow,
I beg and I borrow

On your conscience of sorrow.
In your complex
Convergence of objects,
I silence my reflex.

Take this then with you:
A party-time see through
Family of Hoo Doo.
Dear Capulet/Montague,

Time is now running
The counsel too cunning.
Emotions are humming,
Laid outside for sunning.

So neighbors can see us
While I am waiting.
Perched high like Zacchaeus
Over pensive parading.
