One degree of elevation and
where does it put me?
half way to maturity
or already at infinity?

sincerity
is old hat
no one wants
that
they'd rather have platitudes
which by the way are not mammals
you're thinking of Platypus
or
Platypi
I
don't mean them at all,

this is how the day looks
three books unread
one hour at dawn of the dead
make the bed
shower
shave
now
if I
were a superhero
I'd save the world
but I'm not and I've got
a task in saving myself.

I know if it's all the same to you
that this might be just a game to you
but
for me
it's back to the one degree.
