robins search for grub
first to root in frosted earth
sucks to be a worm
wise seekers all know
sometimes what you search most for
is not what you need

nipping vernal blooms
bellowing bursts of cold breath
winter’s bitter blitz

waste not want
not to store excess
but plenty
it was such a waste
four long years of higher ed
just to flip burgers
the cruelest fate
one’s body wasting away
with one’s mind intact
it’s a waste of time
to try changing someone’s mind
who thinks with their heart
a life of worry
wasted on cheap wine and painkillers
death not survival
