Orafice

It is just a hole...

Gaping puny or wide

uncertain of the shadows it hides

if nothing else

inside

it is just a hole.

I worry due to so many

disguised among us

impersonal un-persons

traffic of panic and mass hysterics

passerby kicking and scream dust

void and thoughtless

deviant clerics

mummifying manna and meaning

indifferent

and hateful in their

preening

a predator licks itself clean

until the hole needs to be filled

hunger overpowering will.

Careful you who minds

and listens

careful not to fall in that

cavern

pothole

wishing well

cavity

ditch

sink hole

singularity

Careful of every kind of orifice

and every hand that feigns well wishes

they will push you in

baby Jessica's televised face

rescued from a hole in the ground

It is just a hole

and television is just like this

an orifice

a square/rectangular hole

that is loud saying nothing

yet pushes you in...

and like your life, falling through time

the whole of you,

pay attention be aware

find your wisdom

open your eyes

you who are mindful

and listen.

This is really great. It is an adventure, and for me it speaks to dealing with falsehoods coming out of people's mouths, and a fear of being swallowed up by that false. That said, the two different spellings of Orafice confound me. I kind of liked it misspelled, and then it is orifice within the piece.

Didn't realize I misspelled, hehe, maybe I might leave it... thanks again for reading...

I thought it was intentional, a play off oral, and then it was correct in the body of the piece, so I was confused. Personally, I like it as Orafice as a play on oral, but that's just one person's opinion.

[Butch Decatoria]

No its good, thanks again much appreciated

A splendid advice to beware of holes and ditches of superficiality and to rely instead on wisdom and sound advice. Also to be careful of peoples' intentions and what they entail. Excellent...:)............................
