The Grand Arbiter

thusly, I say
it is such as it is
for your sake

fortuitous
whether or not
you sense it
or even care

without this suchness
who knows....?

nothingness or
pods of protoplasm or
sky monkeys on pigback
with lassos twirling inside out
looking for an ungrateful bastard
who lives on ingratitude and weasel vitamins or
who knows...!

this here and now,
our present arbitrariness,
is under-rated by so many

have a closer look
it works pretty good
being a man, I mean

instead of nothingness or
a jellyfishing porcupine with asthma and gout or
being the dropping of a benzene fueled frogturtle or
who knows...

got the picture?

Firstly, sorry for being such a stanger of late...you know how it is sometimes.

glad you found the intended humor...while still trying to make a point!

"on pigback" (instead of piggy back) sounds more like horseback riding, which I was alluding to, I suppose.

thanks for stopping in. You are a Joy!
