Existential Poem by Suzette Richards

Admired by many from afar,
especially in jam-packed bar;
must include a fair derriere.
How he stirred his tea's his affair.
Any amount of shove and push,
like a beating about the bush,
will drive him up sanity's wall.
It'll make his coming out to stall.

More than the sum total of parts.
Eyebrows are raised at broken hearts.
Like flotsam, affairs jettisoned
and much of the jetsam yet t' stoned.
The episode at Walt's party,
back in the day of ‘drink hearty',
where Mickey and Minnie romped
on the screen amongst feet stomped.

Giving his due: He's debonair
and goes through life without a care.
His Free Will not ever questioned,
and compassion not sessioned.
If passion weighed up against norm
and he's expected to conform,
what message do others relate?
Their self-loathing must abate.
