Ys

A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes...

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Y me?

Y the inhumAnity?

WhEnce the pathos, the morEs

HItherto our sanIty

Whence ethOs inventOries

Actualization misUnderstood?

.

PrActice grows the cActus prickly

Thoughts amplify in bubblEs quickly

That come from those when boIled sickly

Y duplicitOus apOcOlypstickly?

Praxis made from troUbles' brotherhood.

.

MAn is a frAgile creAture:

Woman his bEst doublE fEature

JoIntly, theIr best teacher

Of what they knOw as dOuble creature

Volatile Union, stability... toward.

.

Take A bow

For the lonely vowEl

Insist all constantly

Spice them cOnsOnantly

SoUnd the Ümlaut when yoŪ shoÜld.

.

And Y

Each Y

Is Y?

Or Y?

PhoneticallY, introspectivelY.
