Precisely

No adverbs allowed.
We are strictly here.
Nothing you can't see
Means appositely
Between you and me.

Breathe. Count breaths slowly
Backward towards you
At the last second,
Frantic, swervingly,
Fighting life freely.

Start new. Ungainly
Body armatures
And fragile egos
Are yours. Contumely
Is humanity.

I'm not being silly.
I'm not avoiding
Truth, nor you, truly.
I'm not that funny.
Funnily, I heard

That Sid Ceasar said,
Curmudgeonly, "He
Who lives for his goals
And not for living
Life, lives foolishly."
