    Talking Being Educated...


    The pretty little boredom
    That mischief defies,
    Like meaninglessness
    Amidst profundity
    Thrives,
    Words kill words,
    In being big and unwise
    Dropped as though from nowhere
    And sad to have arrived
    In a royal hour as this…
    When knowledge itself denies
    Hoots the knowing owl
    Wisdom raining down his eyes
    “Where ?” his pupils he enquires
    “In salvation”, owlets reply.

    Owls... love it; and an ennui of sorts.

    "meaninglessness" had me stumble a bit - but that's my failing.

    Enjoyed very much your tongue and cheek ending; profound in its cuteness.

    All in all a wonderful read.

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami
