THE LEAGUE OF LOPSIDED MEN

Thinking of Pisa.Desiring solidarity.Thought of Unions.
Something in common.What do men have?Angles/addictions/attitudes.
But always an angle.Some are fisherfolk.Dangling propositions
More are sales people-ditto.Most of us are incomplete
without another to extend us.Test tubes don't cut it.
Broken glass cuts.The unkindest cut of all is our lopsidedness.
Angular TITANIC,sinking under the gravity of icebergs
Men make things.Men break things.Affirming this Zen
i propose a LEAGUE OF LOPSIDED MEN
half creatures who are grumpy and unfulfilled
whose Grand Plans are delusional,whose best impulses go haywire
and whose future is as uncertain as their shaded and shady pasts
To join-all you have to do is make mistakes,Start now!
You will pay subscriptions in parking fines and traffic tickets
Warrants are optional.Jail terms not mandatory
Deferred adjudication a preference.Delay,defer,deny-
become one in the League of Lopsided Gentlemen
and rationalize your whole life away!
