Of Fashion

At day’s beginning,
The earth is winning.
By end of year,
It’s dragging up the rear.

Hopes and wishes;
Piled dirty dishes;
Laundry strewn about;
Neighbors falling out

​​Of fashion.

Our true colors clashing
With new meaning.
These thoughts are
High and beaming.

Hindsight twenty twenty.
Candor finding plenty
Of detours in the wake.
Set on 365 to bake.

Let the mongrel dogs have it.
Who's on first? Hey Abbott!

I gave my level best
In this placebo Play-Dough test.
Now reluctantly resigned.
Gold and civil choices mined.

Move forward,
Don’t fall behind.
Another hope.
Another lesson.

Piss up a rope
And keep them guessing.
