To win,
at this, early, age,
agrin,
waving, embryonic banners,
akin,
new, on this, worldly, stage,
a limb,
times-ed by, October’s, gauge,
minus – two,
equals,
twins,
fresh, from a, primordial, manor…

…I wonder – double, you?

To lose,
in, the middle,
be, empty,
a bowel, twisted, sick,
dysentery,
an, unheated, griddle,
paucities – aplenty,
a cat, with, no fiddle,
under, the moon,
sun, set,
blue envy,
a, marital link, lost, unquick…

…I wonder – ex.

To draw,
be square, with, the House,
of lore,
a yarn, now, fully, spun,
galore,
experienced, by, the ounce,
above the law,
looking down, on, all, espoused,
a chromosome’s,
final – breath,
of, alphabeted, awe,

and, a question, of, beginnings, and, ends, undone…

…I wonder – why?…

…Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
