Poetry by Jamie McKenzie |

Cussed I have been dancing with the improbableThe unlikely And the preposterous For quite some time now Pipe-dreaming Thinking wishfully And indulging Truthfully Many fantasies Quite a few whimsies And even an occasional delusion I have not been content With reality Not willing to bow to the inevitable I have been stubborn Insistent And somewhat cussed Plowing ahead with crazy plans Ignoring advice to the contrary I buy tickets to far off destinations Make colossal moves on the chess board of life And wrestle destiny from the grasping claws of doom Be that as it may I am content with this discontent Proud of my unruly and obstinate self My wayward Perverse And headstrong Rush into tomorrow and the new year I am simply unbowed Full of hope And determined I am who I am And I will make waves Or lie down beside still waters If it suits me |
