The Optional Use of Daily Bread

Destiny's dreaming on the shore

Of amphitheater highlights

Streaks of blonde on blue

In search of twinkling twilight

Gleams of glowing gables white

Upon the shingles of the night

Fade to gray in amber's sight

Left to right, left to right


When long hair hippies were the norm

In forms of blues and bells

With appliqued red white and blue

On seats that shrink and swell.

Wishing willows in the well

Improv readings, show and tell

Doctor up the empty shell

Buy and sell, buy and sell.


Left to right shades of blue

Buy and sell in liars hue

Dimlit masses cut to cue

Seeming loss of me and you.


As if the blind-man couldn't see

Hypocrisy in you and me

Blinded by the imagery of

Left to right, left to right

Buy and sell no time to tell


Give a human liberty

Of final say on imagery

You might see similarity

In what you be primarily

Damn the mold that holds the head

Of thinker bold or thinking dead

Give me room to option use

Of sunrise seen and daily bread.
