stone faced folly

This one's for tonight:
a nod to your mystery –
and slap on your cheek.

[Fine features, moldy crown.]

mark the spot

on top of the world
while we watch, we're entertained
no reason to budge

yeah, sure

you're the solution!
aye, but tell me something new.


you're the problem, too.

*

but there's hope, young mind
and it's easiest to find
in gestures of True

sweet new

cold air burns the lungs
that stretch against their bounds,
find sweet new limits
