Glue #9

Walked around
   but could not find
the evil that we left behind

did not greet me
   with acid spray
at the breaking of the day
  could not find it

evil disappeared from
   each corner of the land
   no devil hands
   working strings
   that uproot everything
no evil to be found

a peach tree and
   a cherry blossom
that i kept til autumn
   were beautiful
   were beauty manifest
   but i digress -
absent still of evil

what is this wonderland
   I have created
where evil is never formulated
   never instigated
   never present nor
   lurking behind back alley bins
   never flaunting dogbreath satantic grin
not here just joy formidable
in every person and each day
a brand new and transparent way
                                 to live
