    (Now I have one of those Untitled Ones)



    For short-lived thrills and delights
    Such madness to think they’re true at least
    For deceptive misleading eye contacts
    For all-for-nothing defiance of the orthodox
    For hopes sensed to be false but still embraced and squeezed
    til they’re crushed
    For laboring to dig up that common rhythm
    only to find a cavity

    One of those fits of bitterness unveiled
    Another trick of time
    Oh please, spare me another lecture
    What idiocy and folly!
    Its power-trip, like it’s god
    Its feigned righteousness like a savior

    Somebody said,
    Feel, not think—they’re not on the same plane.
    Oh well, here you go.
    I feel it now
    Like never before,
    Not yesterday, and god forbid, not once again.

    Wow, this is simultaneously so strong and outspoken and also as natural as asking a bystander for the time!

    - Wow back for the skillful and nimble display of irony.
