a binary rhyme

Don’t be hurried, but get things done.
Assert your own opinions but don’t hurt anyone.
A citrus-scented candle covers another smell in the room.
Elegant doom.

You start collecting friends like on a charm bracelet.
And then you grow apart or you just simply forget.
After decades of connections pushed away I regret
Not making more of an effort.

Man & woman start from one little cell
Girls and boys come up learning full well
There’s an accepted way to show up here
And if that’s not you, better persevere

Two sides of a coin, you’re guilty or innocent
Black & white, wrong or right, she knows it don’t make sense
She buys it anyway, hoping for a distraction,
Some action.

See it’s coming for you like you haven’t been poking around
I know you hear that train a coming cuz I’m hearing the sound
If you want to know the truth and you need to be free
Embrace the harmony.

[I later composted fresh produce to an outside the house location, took out the trash, swept, mopped, and vacuumed. Not willing to dust today. Anyway, I hope that’s taken full care of the smell.]
