I Compromise at Mediocrity
Words rampart my head, meaning unheard. dare I jot?
“jot, oh do,” whispers king educator. “if one should use,
one should use correctly” one to lead, one to follow:
Truth. n. 1. tw is is and tw is not is not
2. unknown blur of a buzzword
“good,” cry king, “again”
though needles prick arms, I write again:
Friendship. n. 1. the reason I stand here today
2. inability of solitude
WORRY sprouts. faces peering over windowsill. blinding.
Unimaginable TERROR. Light, Crash, Epilepsy. Bleeding arthritis into right brain.
“good,” cry king, “again”
How can I again when I cannot see?
“AGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGA-”
“…okay”
Father. n. 1. guidance and active involvement.
2. teaching poorly, leading wickedly, fleeing cowardly
Where is the page? Where is heaven? Where are my hands? Where is anything but
WORRY and TERROR?
I do not see Heaven or Love.
My dear sweet child, you are not blinded,
only overstimulated.
So speaks the mumbling trash, crying and vying for
Attention
Carry on please.
