The Mine
You go your way
and I’ll gomine.
Sure, we'll meet again,
If we must.
Just? Lust? Bust? Trust?
Dust?
Bottled in brine,
Or a grape’s hue,
in cheap glass
for expensive wine.
Or some other
such fine.
It would be divine.
If you could but go your way,
And me, mine.
Someone found the beast in swine,
Another in steak bovine,
Both stood to undine,
In name of god,
or some other such.
To reason their whine.
Asinine.
And then go on to mine.
To mine.
To pay some taxes,
And a speeding fine.
Suffer famine.
For crossing across
the astronomical,
gastronomical,
diabolically obliterated,
explicitly forbidden,
fruits, meats, leaves,
in group of nine.
And then to abuse,
as if
by right birth,
the form feminine.
(Which is my mother's,
So will also,
always,
be mine.)
It's not a symbol,
to bang your cymbals.
Read the sign.
Extinct, indistinct.
From across that blurred,
blurred line.
