I’m a carefree lad,

A lazy git,

Whichever you prefer,

I don’t mind either,

Or anything,

Except having to do work

Of some,

Or any description

You know this life’s good,

That of the ne’er bored,

Taking each day,

Just as it comes,

To put on an act,

As if prepared for it,

Such effortless style, such élan!

The secret: Don’t care

We, the lazy are...

The euphoria

Of the summer sun's blazing glare,

Seemingly starting to subside,

The rain has come again,

Weighed over by the thunderous clouds,

We fall freely back to home,

Where hands loving catch us,

And stand us back up,

Before they lay us down,

Wrapping themselves gently around,

Knowing what they hope to find,

Within our aching chests,

To be pa...

The bed blankets greet me soon after I'm back,

The sweet-spicy smell of chai tea is coming from the kitchen,

The carpet cushions my footsteps when I awaken

To go into the sitting room

I nearly never attempted to fathom,

How some so despise being in one place,

A call: "Collect your thoughts and valuables,

And leave them in sight of only you."

Into glasses that are raised

To the endless world of feigned resolutions

But only the year will be maintained

Until it itself is out

Dissent climbs over tradition,

Until it becomes the norm,

The poets' steady hands

Write with such a

Brutally descriptive poignancy,

Of the world and the works,

Water and metal,

Through to rust,

Many loves and affairs,

Whispered nuances,

Though times of war and peace,

Prattled with passion,

The startled words scream from the page,

But sometimes...

The useful congregate,

Celestial sheets and wondrous wool pulled over

Eyes, unblinking, laws laid down,

Inhibit all but their makers,

Seeking tired sayings,

Retiring recitations,

Of odd utterences

Guests invited in,

With open jaws and tainted chalices,

Smile, before going for each other's throats,

The etiquette is flawless,

But no one is fooled,
