Last night I listened

And I listened —

to The Expression of a Social

Out Cast —

Boy could He move that Mike

against a backdrop

of fake disco lights

I danced for Him

& the rest of  “Them” —

danced with the un-danceable

the infirm and the lonely.

I shook Their Hands.

The Hawk Kichen Outpost 4:57pm

It’s a hard way to win

with this incessant drive

under threat of life and limb —

I could never hold It differently–

I was meant to strive

for All My Worth

and Our Worth

of Silver  —

Mankind

over gold

for

G-O-D
