Preposterous

Kenny Santana 1962 (Milwaukee)



                I accept the totality
                 and finality of my
                 reality as insanity, not
                 my pedigree, dignity,
                 profanity; or what you
                 think I see...
                 
                 the answers to all my
                 questions, are the
                 questions I've already
                 answered; with positive
                 relativity, factuality, or
                 feigned malady...

                 reciprocity is what I
                 need, not hypocracy,
                 redundancy, illiteracy;
                 head-games are not
                 for me, I'm searching
                 for emotional stability.
