#14

(a post-charcoal note to my roommate)

Discerning the elusive

Albeit God’s employ

To carry with

In void of time

Some other than a boy

 

What actions took by anyone

Affect the thoughts of now

Leaves its subject curious

To what of worlds endow

 

And when it is -

If what it is

Rewards of things well sought

The methods chosen when and if

Reality is wrought

 

And so forego the hard to know

Or righteousness in self

For questioning the chaos -

To play the toy of mental health
