Poem: "Misspentology!" by Rich Orth

Misspentology!
Rich Orth


As listless child... scrolled unsaid name
Deep into grating sands
Visions tasted grit ...each sorrowful day

Worn by sea salt encrusted winds
Swallowed words...profound
Eschewed dynamics...
Damaged... purely confounds
For one fortuitously whisked away...
Yet intrepidly ...mind returns...
Infusing disastrous concerns
Treading upon revisions

Confessions, professions......
Parading upon blackened beaches
Wherest truth's been whited out...

Wistful adult
...recognizes little more
Whored by memories
Misappropriation of youth
Rake away misspentology...
Deeper into disintegrating sands
Held in hands, sifted through fingers
...momentarily lingers
Grading info....
Truth t'is dismembered...
...buried...compartmentalized
Shifting sands eroding belief.
Conscestuously...combing...
Mortality of sunsets
Vitality of sunrise....
Lifetimes of regret
Eternally reprised
