Directing Meaning

Is legislating getting less for most
the same as stealing?—reductionism

is the thrust; until all sense was lost
from meaning and not missing it—

We've all grown leaner while adding
pounds of fat in gorging leaveners.

Around the edges limned in flowers'
petals, round and near transparent.

Commuting to Bliss

If only this Bliss you
say were a real place.
I'd visit.

If only the drugs we take
could allay this creeping doubt
we'd take them again

But they won't. For only
amplification of aforesaid
doubt grows.

Though more sedately,
I suppose.
