Effort

Liquid leavening

shooting it up

Like Walthers blazing

through caramel apples

I’m just trying my best

isn’t that enough

Crawling through hazy

half-sunk dabbles

Forests of trying

trees of stuff

Never completing

no rebels worth rousing

Take another sip

a thirsty huff

Get back to the daisies

keep pushing them out

‘til you’re pushing them up
