Another one of those, "Poems(?) While Weedeating" - unfinished, aren't they all?

"The road not taken" - Uh,
that would be *this* one, not here to pass by again,
more like "bypass" ...
Having divested nearly all things Ritual,
am often unmoored in social situations
where Many are fixed by the cleat bollards.
As I teeter on a long unaccustomed genuflect
amid the snickers, I wonder, "Is that
what's been missing - a Rehearsal Dinner?" and
"Is that another name for Reincarnation" as
the practice run-through for genuflection
at the next funeral?

I actually studied NIETZSCHE formally -
meaning, learned to spell his surname, and
catch phrases, "Eternal Recurrence; God is dead;
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and
outside the quote marks, Your sister will distort
your meanings.

Tactile imagery is experienced as reading a painting.

Keep it up & you'll convince me I'm not pulling a DICKINSON! - no mental strategy here, am just a Pisces cluelessly and lazily dreaming along.
