My role is that of a repetitive explicit
arguing with an absence,
My whole is implicit
in the unfolding of an implied inconsequence.
I’m not afraid to own you but skeptical
of an inferred benevolence,
I am, like them, seeking to sublet
a part of my irreverence and irrelevance.
I'm the sailor and his whore and the unyielding sea-floor below
in all its florescence,
Or the redundant winds howling
before the sailor's only weapon, his common-sense.
A lost poet, sure I'm penniless, spent and sprawled
before your evenness and evanescence,
I am the mystic's last lure and the pounding of the score
into obsolescence.
In statutory compliance of and political alliance
with the irredentist's iridescence,
I am his holiness, his permanence, his chemist and his bigamist
cousin impermanence.
An employee of innocence serving time
under an imaginary, ill-bonded fragrance called “Reluctance”
Of the one i lost during the ill-fated expedition
to the Cape of all Convalescence.
Now that I’m making cold calls, taking hot orders
from my duplicitous and other-worldly essence,
I am taking dead aim, no chances and no prisoners
on this quest towards everlasting effervescence.
And If ever the undead soldiers take a break
from their vengeance and stop shooting blindly
at my depreciating petulance
With my invisible cape, i’ll then escape still
donning this faraway façade of sheer confidence.
A Reluctant Fragrance Pushing Redundant Winds
