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.
