"We're the only loners here."
A surety, once he inquired.
"You're wrong, though they may not of come...
we are the survivors"

Wisdom within consistency
Word outside of scripture.
Leasing still though blasphemous
Count it. File. Date the picture.

The benefits of not believing
in more than human will
is strength in resolve
for lack of option
Pushing on: no cutting deals.
Imagined dates cut off.
A story to be sealed.

A place to rest, a bench downtown.
Hope discovered in a beggar.
As I give that which means little,
I wonder who has more business here.

As the smiles fade, the invites cease.
Glimpses pass pressed judgement.

The decision becomes clearer.
in this life I've sought a bang,
fore my pain is but a whisper.
