Uncertainty like vanilla lacquer
pasting the plate 
Lick it up son
Gag on the coat 
So that approaching any decision 
Feels forced to assuage time’s demand
That action occur 
Where any amongst the smorgasbord is
an equal toast 
Proclaiming a milky nonsense
identity 
Years stacking like rotations of the
garbage can rolled to the curb 
Filled, dumped, returned, repeat 
The refuse of food, feces, and drained
receptacles
Glob the pipes funneling resources 
Attempting to diagnosis 
Where to go from here
Wanting an option to distinguish
itself 
As a viable offering 
Then if there were even one to do so
The direction to claim would
solidify 
At least as much as the
deteriorating papers 
Washed in the hurricane ink smears 
A man is left to hold a slew of
drenched dust into powdered sludge 
Lambasting his heart into a callow
silence 
He is unprepared to accept 
Paralyzed believing he knows what he
wants
But doubts it exists and if it does
will ever intersect his path
