Underbelly

Aching underbelly
Yells yellow thoughts
While these butterflies tumble
Inside puffed out breasts

Watching the nonsense
Debunk the corroborated effort
To disregard this daily disgrace

From age and death and sex
Comes less respect that muddles the self
A catalog of choices changes by the minute
Mollifying boastful and onerous behavior

This ego proudly swaggers
Its big dick of intentions
Rattling the itty-bitty self to denial
Coupled with its yellow thoughts
Stored in stacks

With all those other thoughts that were lost
The underbelly is a freezing winter day
The underbelly is hail on the promenade
Finger dancing with shadows on the wall
The underbelly catches the ego as it falls

Want to assuage this aching belly
The feeling in this chest
