Helen Go Mother Beth

I was young once; and on poverty
another palace revolution without currency.
 
Taking the day
                                                 the field to­
wards surrender of material possessions.
 
                         Not syndromatic LSD resolution,
I’m so glad
                 having made up my mind not to lie an
                               and a drug addict, and to die even though
                 modern civilization dictated moral
 
collapsing, model constitution revleations hypocritical, apochryphal.
 
It’s so good
 
        remain to archetypal,
 
                       see the thieves of one’s past admit suicide.
