Scent

On the trail to 'something'

From hence and whence it comes

To sniff the longevity of these potentials

Without snuffing their need to be

Sated. 

And what of satisfied and all its fillings

Would that we could,  

Cavort with the dreaming...

Without maligning the structure of

Security. 

Civility to Self, to needs, wants, wishes

Maslow's hierarchy, tumbling. 

Where did he factor in the undermining

Of individualistic trade?

That strong be the need to provide warmth

At the cost of the swapping of 'needs'?

I need more, Maslow, more 

Than surface-present particulars 

And the conditional understanding 

Appealing most to many. 

The roar of my agitation, 

Befits the bellows of Outer Space.
