Will I ever be lucky
and learn how to live
can I grasp the importance
of living to give?
Could I ever be lucid
enough to relent
this liking for lyrical
lines of lament?
And when will I listen
so I might detect
the lilting allusions
my longings project?
Should I loosen the lanyard
to litter the deck
or lustfully loop it
around my own neck?
Can I launch limitations
that lessen my pay?
I'm cheerfully leery
but leaning that way.

As that noose gets tighter
Be nice if things were lighter
But then not sure I could take the leap
As I'm in too deep
Great carriage of consonants throughout.
