worrier warrior
a fierce worrier
i am guided by the rigours of my devotion
i worry about birth defects of the frog
sabout lost and stolen children great and small
worry about the world’s weary womyn
i worry profoundly
research the details of distress that i may
worry more wisely
the constellations and humours of worry add
dimension to this vast resource i follow down
until i come to its floodplain
in its spongey estuaries one thing
leads ever into another
there is no end to worry
intrepid seeker
i waste not my strength and skill
janitor and avatar of worry i take courage
in the teeth of my fear
magnanimously i worry withholding nothing
faced with diverse ambiguity i worry in obsession
amphibius and ambidexterous my worries breech
all bounds of decorum
i worry sheroically
i sing my myriad muezzin worries from the treetops
beat the bushes for more
listen for a whisper after midnight
catch as catch can
no slacker nor timid
i hone my art against any odd end
patiently i worry in overview and undercurrent
test my strength of will on worries not yet
discovered in our time and
those long forgotten
overlooked by others less devoted or too fainthearted
tireless if there seems no cause for
concern i will wake the dead
the dedicated and true worrier warrior's fiercest trial
in mortal face to face self conquest
golden pathway
illumination
i worry about worry
redhanded: a songe forre the loste
