Select pleasant certainties
of my prospective daily
routine

I can spend my day listening
to a variety of songs
comprised of three chords
strummed or plucked
on one or more guitars
more or less accompanied
by other instruments
and wed to
comforting lyrics

There will be
televised
affirmations 
of my lifestyle choices

People’s perception 
of my race and class
won’t change much

My blood
will mostly likely 
stay inside my body

Anything I say
will likely not
be used against me
as long as I affirm
what is obvious
and accepted

Select
pleasant uncertainties
of the day
are likely to include

a mutterworried monologue
about the success or failure of
my bitterflying
attempts at 
allying my regulated smile
to an actual good mood and

probably pre-damned gimmereaching
in the name of the spiritchore
it is alleged I am
devoted to accomplishing

this wordcoining of
magnifications
for tiny cells of soulpoo
that render them
stardanglers for decorating
the select pleasant certainties
of a daily routine

I could not do the latter 
without having the former
I do not know how there are those
who do not
yet who can

A select unpleasant certainty
is that I don’t have to think about them
unless I deliberately decide to
The daily public affirmation of my being
assures me of that
again and again

but I select
caring
and more to the point

I choose to identify outside the certainties
stardangling
myself
in the source of soulpoo
praying to become
a certaintybomb

If this is rejected
I am
certain
it will be
a source of 
unnecessary
mutterworrying

although 
it will be no doubt
deathlaughable
to some observers
