Some are pushing up daisies.
Others are stiff
due to ideology or intention.
This march has no music.
The band is over.
One is guarded
to get-together another one.
If you wish others
to walk on air for you
they need to be subsumed
by pecuniary inflows or douceurs.
Self-actualization bids
offer goose eggs to others.
On this path: seclusiveness is sky-written.
