No-Vice

How new
or how fresh
should one be
to have no vice?


Untrained for the
viciousness outside
and a nobody 
in the vulture's eyes.


To become luscious
one needs to absorb
a lot more than
just goodness


cater to the 
prying eyes,
push and pull
and go with the flow.


Some eventually rise
slowly and steadily up the surge
while some pay the price
just for being a novice
with no vice.
