what is more perilous

is the tepid circumvention

the whittled routine

of volition

 and intervention

I soar on ragged carpets

worn by compensation

the harmful stinging dust

the haunted waiting 

 expiration

before me is a line

safe behind the shade

brightened by

my hazy

 hazy

  hazy

   homemade
