Veritable Rant-tant-tivvy


E
nd has end    beginning beginning
    trouble is    ouroboros swallows tail
stays dumb    rational verity blown
    like cause and effect which effectually
waltz around ballroom to metric strains
    east is east and west is west
until you re-orient your swatch of the sun
    day's begun when day is done

    dexter or sinister take your pick
devil's due:    virtue he elicits
    by whose light or darker insight
are shadows cast that ne'er standfast
    sun doth run    after-burners on
nor wait upon    humanity's condition

    no lad     no lass
polarity's bad cess
    imperative challenge    no small change
logic and grammar's perplexity
    okay to spit it out quick
before you choke or get anal-ytic

    why taken for granted as how
example: throne of god occupied by his nibs with beard
    photo op frontally posed
as if transparency in action
    behind scenes access denied
consequence: chimerical inklings
    lead us on
to gratuitous intent
    apochryphal precepts
invoke fealty to almighty
    ben- or mal-evolence
dispensed removed
    within or beyond reason
though we invent incantation and sacrificial offering
    to allay and propitiate
'step on crack:    break my back'
    hexed?     oh hell no sweat!
mumbo-jumbo survives
    from aeons before Satan's get

    tail-end peace quivers as gross felo-de-se war
clamps jaws
    ego trip    evolutionary dance
sink or swim mayhem
    oughta be maxim:
hyena's leftovers' slim-pickins fattens cosmic cycle
    rhythmic stress maintains integrity
keeps us hopping
    harmony of spheres tactical guessing game

    verity's rationale withholding contingency
beggar's coat     fit to blow its stitches
    ludicrously vain this either-or dogmatism
presented even before you lose your baby teeth
    brusque truth crunching on tempting rusk
no     no no nooh     No!
    ""oh no" limits conditions of play
worries     caged lion into apathy
