morality is not what not
to do morality is what
to do

if & only if
sequential lilacs drop
into the shade moist with

resisted sun
while everlast is here
disguised as present tense

ungainly in its absent
thrust a pared wheel
of half choice

littering the topsoil
and the daily life
thick with mistakes

one knows then fails
to know so as not
to be shut out
