Damaged Debut

That point where perspective fails

Is a sharp and shameless end

A failure, yes I must confess

For I have preached and I have practiced

And yet I have managed to fester a mess

Acquired a weightless collection of because

While fate heckles with his game of luck

Conducting an explicit scene

That has made a joke out of my childish dream

Finding solace in the irregularity of unearthly absolutes

I will carry my sore knees, drag my swollen knuckles

To rescue the sweet of my laborious fruits
