Sideways
Wayside
SIDEWAYS WAYSIDE: the exit still
that’s
alone when people are there, and
not
to come in outgoingly—
those
happily pursue the
shortcut to hope (cheaters)!
Others,
upon wishing this, will not do.
You’ll
notice, too.
Deaf and blind to
much
that craves attention… for what?
Insane,
they are wondering
about
wandering spirits being human.
“Are such creatures befuddled?”
The
glory of shortchangers is
seeking others’ help at once.
—Back-handed blows invite blows handed
back.—
Once, it helped others seek
change,
short of glory, the
befuddled creatures. (Such are
human beings.) Spirits wandering about,
wondering, “are they insane?
What for?”
Attention craves that much,
too
blind and deaf
to notice you.
*Do not will this wish upon others.
Cheaters hope to cut short
the
pursuit of happiness: those
going
out, in, come to naught.
And there are people, when alone, that
still exit the wayside sideways.
