Royal produce

A Poem by Daniel Sutheran

You are both wrong in your construct.
It's a strange sensation - a lump,
a cancer in the throat, at first sight,
and a lump at the last. Why let this
frivolous, awful moment dent the
outward sturdiness and inward fragility
of an equally frivolous, awful construct?
There is little point in celebration
when the only person to truly elate
is no one at all.
Celebration of a construct.
Whether this construct is natural or un,
it shrivels and decays all the same.
Why ornate a slab of concrete?
Why decorate a slap on the cheek?
Why adorn a step in the foul
of the unuseful, unpriceless
cohabitors of a beautiful rock?
It's quite the bother.
You are neither right nor wrong,
when you both will perish.
You are both wrong in your construct -
just as they are frivolous in theirs. 
"Oh, what's the bloody point?"
