remember

all of your dreams

are true

until you betray them

every morning

under the grindstone

of the life you chose

and you play your little Hamlet

whining in his golden cage

 — to sleep, perchance to dream —

because there’s the rub

you can’t have your cake

and eat it

new moon on the rise

and on this dark and empty beach

I rage and rage and rage

against the maddened waves

foam on our lips

exchanging wild and angry laughter

as they crash and splice

into slavish rivulets of supplication

that hiss and crawl to

—KISSSS —

my boots

and I step back

untouched

and they retract

refused and unfulfilled

the beggar’s gesture

the timeless

endless

beggar’s wave

of one hundred

and fifty million empty hands
