Demise Dismissed


I'm envious towards the movies, 

That's my only crime.

Most take Marley,

Coconut with the lime.

 

I'm Selective to necessity,

Absorbent of the time.

Transpose and Metamorphose,

Like Kafka's old rhyme.

 

I'll manage those emotions,

Santeria of Sublime.

Prepare myself for anything.

Paint before the prime?

 

I know it all naively,

Worth a penny for a dime.

And it won't be that mountain,

I won't fall after the climb.
