3.5 not 5.25

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

most of the words are falling gracefully onto my page

but in an order entirely of their own choosing

and everything i may have had to say

has been attributed to losing

losing what?

i asked,

perplexed;

i looked

but my query went unanswered,

no validation

they didn't know what to say

it was not available from the separation

vacuous riddles and bullshit rule

all but the loyalist will desert you

you can’t look surprised without opening your eyes

and what you don’t know,

won’t hurt you

up to your neck in a pool

of someone else’s shit

the same neck you stuck out

just to be a part of it

- just a part of the sum of the whole

to get here in the first place

- a fancy final fulfilling role

to get here in the worst space

- and step into your favourite role

being a part of the thirst chase

- tell yourself you have control

just another poorly nursed taste

surreal poetry
