The Collector

The Collector

A Poem by Indra's Child

Elective perspective brimming on the edge of hectic,
Practicality can't describe the fallacies of your problematic intricacies,
You collect people like the ground collects seeds,
Indeed, it's only as shallow as it is grave
A deep thought had in a shallow grave
How down to earth and sunk in mud
Dried earth blood flakes off the cud
Shuddering leaves drown beneath above
Bones soft with time and palpable,
Maleable, crushable, like powdered sugar
Sweet,
And
Low
Low and smooth pain runs the mile
An extra one hit wonder left on the tile
A trial
To file under the name vile
Just dial the number, denying the monster
Foster the evil within,
Acidic grins, additional thin
A clear sin, a near miss hit close to the clean dirt,
Another home run for the cannibal church

Selective anecdotal evidence rectifying presence 
A failed test hooked up to the lie detector,
You are the collector.
