Nerve Bending

It's an autonomic
re(spon)se
to the natural m;o;ment
as an animal
it's where we're from
so they tell me
(yes, Dar'win')
victor of spoils
rotten in eggs
a tale of biology
or something like dregs
coffee is ground
             to make for our compost
re-growing is bound
                           a mate for a manboast

Can the imagination decide
         how will we choose
a loss and a ride
                        don't hold on too loose

failure is random
at least in a storm
bailout the handsome
Mother Nature's fine norm

but that's not how it
ought best to go
fate is a trip
a destination of no

yeses are here
as long as we make
plans for the pier
as docks under wake.
