FRIVOLITY

 

Needle skipping wildly

Dust engulfs the stylus

Time to condescend

Shallow laughter

Morphed intelligence

Reason

Seems to fade

Methodology

Crashing in on protocol

To write about it

Makes coherent sense

But then again

Who dictates logic?

My best work

As good as those who comprehend

True enlightenment

Forbidden zone to some

A step closer to heaven

For us who disagree

Clever performance

Fades with rapid listlessness

All eyes on Orion

Or was it idol fever

I marvel at frivolity

Glib response

To social recompense

Medicine

Modern human intervention

Feeble application

Yet we fail to control the wind

Lone candle

Lights my storied path

Esoteric

So it is

In 2009

God’s mercy

Leaves me weak at times

Melts my macho arrogance

I feel dark advances

Rape

Pillage

Plunder

Soon you shall be gone

No memory of your visit

The show rambles on

Despite my limp unease
