The Daily Dread

Yesterday

I quit quitting quite
a quotidian practice
quietly qualm free 



don't waste your warm breath
to revive a cold dead carp
rotting in the bank


we're going out of business
while selling us his funny business
just like nobody's business



time to quit when the
warm breath of a cold carp chills
a fishy business



Early existentialist influence
Out in the schoolyard 
During recess
The school bell in error
Would ring intermittently 
The monitors told us to ignore it
So many of us climbed the fence 
Hung on it
Shook it 
Shouting 
"Ain't got no meaning! "
