O.W.N.

March 10, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I’m on a sabbatical
from being tapered, or collared like a clavicle
I’m off the hook now like a radical
yet methodical and tactical
practically impractical
or visa versa, virtuous sporadic and magical
irrationally rational
or visa versa, au natural faux pas and fanatical
my outlook is urban-house, funky hip-classical
glass half full, admirable, and a passionate casserole
of will, and manifested gratification in moments far from gradual
my outreach urban-dressy-casual
all this to say, in a way,
I’m all natural, au natural, and awe natural
I’m the “Original. WayOfLife. National.”
