Daylights Knocking

must be as Godly

a feeling

to be Good

at what one does

not

metering out in

the mendacity

of mediocrity

with the toll

of late fees

that which,

with every blunder

come due

(I don't mean

like death...

but you know

...like taxes)

every act done well

is as an hour

saved

...I know

having seen

many a cigarette

stamped out...

that these ashes

are but a coarser

form of dust

the kind formed

where meditation

met its match

and lost...
