Worked So Hard

9/7/2018

We worked so hard to love,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to simplify,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to share,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to multiply,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to prosper,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to forget,
We forgot why;

We worked so hard to commodify,
And we do not know why.

Clock Pieces

Well oiled,
Never seeing,
The ties that bind,
The tightly fitted cogs
That tick,
Tock,
Set in motion

A clock face never sees
Its own mechanics,
The screws,
wheels,
Springs,
Never outside
the finished product

But, they are all
valuable,
And of purpose,
independently

Until
Fitted in,
By a
hand,
Each piece
loses
independence,
and independent value;

Interconnected,
but seperated
from the other,
Each dependent on
maintained
function of
the "clock",
To thus do a job
of the machine,

for the hand.

Moxie!

Up North
I found
And procured to drink,
A Moxie,
Ice-cold in can.

Clicked tab,
Taste

And taste

And tried

To drink

strange bitters
Endored

Since 1876,
Vintage,
Beguiling marketing
