I have one mother & I’ve no father.
My birth name will not curse any farther.
I cannot but try to mark life better.
So, I work by a new group of letters.
Most of life’s living is a robot dance.
It’s ridiculous repetitive trance.
Wishes aren’t real; for, I’d’ve been long dead.
I have made those wounds & have seen them bled.
No more mainlined reflections, Adonis!
Our hopes & efforts are all we can promise.
