Distances Upon Our Chances
Your emotional tantrums
are astral, psyche doldrums
because of the new distances
they put upon our chances.
To say only what one means
such that youth thought weans
is no less than always necessary.
Anything less is too scary...
it pulls us down in our soul.
Theatricalism exacts a toll.
Tolerance is means, not goal;
Patronizing I'll not dole.
You are capable and strong
so we need so do no wrong
...loving.
