dignity's a long shot

I can’t let that glaring Lack sustain me—

because bitterness is no fuel

madness is not a tool

and libido ceases as reliable credo

—pass me the cherry cheetos, my dear glistening and needy Juanita?

no I won’t shine the black light on my freakness

I bet the long shot every Preakness

—my horse is finally on the inside post, and
meekness,
I wager, will one day rule the earth.
