indentations rather than centering

and yet, another completely unsolicited, unedited & unpublished poem, written between 1987-1989. again, some formatting issues - so i've done the best i could within the confines of this blog, by centering what is normally indented. Oh well. i am certain there are greater problems in the world to worry about ....


EQUALIZERS (FOR BJS)

Rings
of perfect diamonds enlayed
in 14k gold
mean nothing ... really
They are symbols
easily discarded
temptations always evident

i have layed my love
the essence of photons
in the wave length of rainbows
and x-rays that penetrate your soul
so:
what are you
weeping for tonight

we each wear the thorny crown of loneliness weeping in our own misery unable to see the obvious alternative
