Drill Imagination Right Through Necessity

Play

Nothing's going to become of anyone
except death:
therefore: it's okay
to yearn
too high:
the grave accommodates
swell rambunctiousness &

ruin's not
compromised by magnificence:

that cut-off point
liberates us to the

common disaster: so
pick a perch--
apple branch for example in bloom--
tune up
and

drill imagination right through necessity:
it's all right:
it's been taken care of:

is allowed, considering
