Resolved to mimimize juggling so many plates Easier if I could keep my octopus off rollerskates Establish path so my way not be hampered Set a sentry at my heart 'cause issues need to be dampered Dead set 'bout never gettin' set up like a bowling pin Keep enemy at bay if realized alley I laid is within Better to stay out of casino than reconfigure bets Hot mess may get extinguished by just cooling my jets All're dying from start still got bit of power to shuffle May not get card pulled if don't step into ring for a scuffle One foot in grave still must have one above ground One finger on the button but three pointin' the other way to bound Head in clouds dreams're flippant platform to stand Happy medium better way than ostrich's stuck in the sand It rains on the wicked n' the just all the same Most darkness is imaginary so move pieces to a new game. 1-4-2017 Duncan R.M.
