SOMEBODY'S WIT'S END

03 12 11

Take up your solace
and puncture the water balloon
petticoat of pride
skirting my unsightly sense of loss

Tap to attention
the chemicals swishing to the good
maybe jolt a lazy tide
with a moon's tug of realism

Dispatch a fur of flies
to usurp my sugar coat

Anything to make it clear to me
that I can be the undergarments
of a power ballad and remain credible
beneath the latex applique of rock and roll

My favorite of yours I've read so far. Written in the writer's own voice regarding self...particularly poignant, in my opinion.
