you name it
an I'll laugh in the face of it

Not So Rooten Root(Indian)
had
traced
a trace
the last trace
with the head of his eraser

To preserve the face he had come upon
sky ward
stareing
of a handsome importance
and significant look
Had copied in a detailed trace
a face
detailed with ash from a kettle
an acheing dogs toothe
and fifty potted plants
his wife had tossed
she said fell erected around him in his honored face

and in a shocked and stunned stupored state
had recorded
hurriedly
on the preservation
a carving of a face
came to mind
moments before he left his wife and forgot close the door afore she
tossed the cat dog and family diary and dowery
also in his face

and he'd remember that one mysterious day
as the motivations for his
now famous
carveing he named
NAMELESS FACE
IN HONOR

cause that day was
as was a day anytime or time of day
the same
day
she had hugged his bossom
and not
assaulted his face.

he looked at it again
his traceing-born=descendant
of stars and stripes forever
and 'ad laughed in it's nameless face

though he feared and loathed
his "stunning" wife
day to the last day
of his living soul
and sworn life's earned and virtured honored resting place
where he rest
in his place
in the earth

All had morned him
his wife
And yet none a chanced lay his nameless
placeless fear

And named his wife
A lie they never also never chanced a' lay
In their new laid land of

LAUGHING FACE
An honored and god fearing place

Goodness, Marvin, this is a slippery piece, let me read it, again...um, let's see: a man found he was, though he wasn't in the now, told her he saw her was, she, having been complacent in her omnipresence "isness", lashed out, he booked, to save his face, his 'sight'...because, as ruler, his voice had no meaning to her place, and yet, though he escaped, sadly, even displaced, it hadn't mattered, in the end...

Sad piece, with a moral: be true to self who is, was is nothing.

Hope you are well, enjoying cigarettes as much as I, and searching yet for the answer to humanity's being.
