White Flag Pretense

White Flag Pretense

A Poem by Darren Brown
"

These days, the idea of global peace is considered first-class naivety, whilst psychological egoism is necessary over-indulgence.

"

When I feel you I’m dreaming

You are a kiss on the neck from a ghost

You are a painting kids laughed at in crèche

 

High school toilet graffiti disorders

Leeches tether me to shoulders of stone 

 

I am a silver coin

thrown in a well

that burrows straight through Earth

to her core where I’ll melt.
