Weekly Sonnet 39

Ben, No lie b

The act of living is not natural,
it is a craft.  Green, green: I’m going
away to where the grass is greener still.  
Intertextuality is not a
dirty word.  Those faces on the mural
stare into your borrowed light.  Hippety
hop, hippety hop!  I talk in a daze,
(one hundred and eight) I walk in a maze.  

Edwards’ loss is the American Will.

I linger on those pale blue eyes showing
patricide in a youthful piety.
Flip a strife unsweetly.  Snuff it with a
tug.  Reasoning gives you no time to frown—
a Friendly halo—up for you is down.
