Montgomery County Pennsylvania housing choice voucher...

rew4er2nail

eligibility predicated upon mandatory fingerprinting

 

Courtesy anticipatory anxiety

breeds palmar hyperhidrosis

(i.e. hands adrip

with profuse perspiration)

honest to dog truthfully
most inconvenient malady

 

holds Earthling (yours truly)

in precarious emotional balance

me silently screaming

against ill fated physiological disorder

also upending prospective

employment ambitions (parttime).

 

Qualification to acquire said voucher

(essentially to help pay rent)

slips thru slippery fingers (mine),

thus wet out further ado, the extent

I broadcast sweaty plight

less for empathy than to air lament

anyway syndrome already expounded

by garden variety generic gent.

 

Accursed genetic unpleasant quirk

(vis a vis polyhidrosis)

thwarts virtual, social, and political

(yes folks I sought storied government perch)

ambitions toward gaining traction,

 

to experience cosmic consciousness,

hence moost every digital,
interpersonal, practical (joking) aspiration

figuratively dashed into

bajillion pieces to no avail.

 

Even as a wee lad

scores of decades yesteryear

I distinctly remember

abysmal introvertedness where

psychological torture

wracked psyche there

boot for the grace of dog,

this muttering kid felt queer

son of a gun ousted joining foo fighters

as a third musketeer

despite qualifying as rightful heir

thus in the least sought trappings

indicative of very important person

while entombed within recycled bier.

 

Subsequently, mine lifeless being cremated

ashes scattered to four winds

inert matter repurposed courtesy Gaia

physical earthly dwelling irrelevant

 

speculation abounds since time immemorial,
what constitutes purpose of existence

a chicken and egg thing

where copulation (pertaining to humans)

triggers hormonal secretion

 

poised to unsuspecting strike haploid

female reproductive cell, or gamete

if bonafide dirty deed done dirt cheap

attains crowning glory

fertilized ovum results

 

reputedly engendering conception

though uncertainty when nascent embryo

considered greater than inchoate

amalgamation of cells.

 

Ideally biological processes

merrily humming along

once gestation period complete

viable organism (Homo sapien) born

oblivious to nothing else except

except basic needs and wants

 

until adequate mental,

physical, spiritual development

necessitates progeny to fend for her/himself

wherein adult autonomous species

enroute to secure a place to call their home,

which onerous cost
eased courtesy housing choice voucher.

 

Aforementioned county program

synonymous with section 8,

though methinks the latter term
evoked non-positive connotation

within mind of prospective landlord.
