Glass Elephant, Glass Elephant

I’m in my prime; at the cusp of my development.

A few more years of growth make decay a lot more relevant…

 

*Glass Elephant,

Glass Elephant,*

 

Irrelevance, benevolence,

Compassion, or malevolence;

I’m one of few who sees it sums no difference.

 

Glass objects.

Or Elephants.

Irrelevance,

Irrelevance

 

Striving for motion, with motive elusive

Each thing I endeavor is far too exclusive

I need something inclusive, objectively singular

A sinusoidal wave with a mean lacking integers

Peace in zero and equilibrium inclusion

 

*Glass Elephant

Glass Elephant*

Delusions, Delusions
