an original poem by Joshua Brown

Softer hues again parallax

Shifting between stereoscopic views

Adjusting lens to see spherical

Colors atomized in arching bow

Footed in the felt canvas of 

Invasive species natured wildly

Fresh mown grass wetted by tears

Of frustrated release by embrace

And dance of invisible pressures

Wise furrowed brow beholds 

Grainy edges to the peripheral

Accepted by the local ecosystem

Floating mildly with yellow stems

In outdoor pool with friends

Carbs perched accessibly for all

Shored swampland brimming lively

Borderland to human habitation

Plates aromatic dewed with juice

Puddled from sacrificed cattle

Ground to burgers, cheese wilted

Crumbs left in haste of consumption

Return to friendly consummation

In the stirred waters of relaxation

At the foot of the wetland crafted

Laughs echo against the cumulus

That flit away to westward home.

Becoming a hero is no laughing matter, but being a friend is. Thanks for reading "God and Gaiety" which was written on June 9, 2023 while on shift as a security guard at the Arapahoe Aurora Motor Vehicle in Aurora, Colorado, United States, North America.

You might be interested in checking out my last poem as well: "Internalized" which is about the women I've experienced within the greater Baptist community. It is an expression of my anger at their abuses towards children even in their "ex" Baptist personality. The Catholic and Orthodox teachings about accepting what you believed would be preferable to the transition from one form of matriarchal abuse to another via secularization of victimization, in my opinion.
