This Pedestal

This Pedestal

 

This pedestal you placed me on will surely be the death of me

 

It only serves to raise me up above the parapet

for the whole damn world to see

 

Take note then of these failing limbs

an easy target would you not agree

?  

 

Watch closely as I carve invisible statues in time and air

 

Some call it poetry

 

Take my hand then and climb aboard

this plinth of mine is mine and mine alone to share

 

Load aim and fire at will

…
